in case i have a source code and an api to generate windows executable version, is there any possibility or any easy approach to convert it into something that can be executed across Linux /mac or Solaris platforms?

If your code is in a .NET language, there are online and offline translators that can convert the code to Java.
This is just language translation, and doesn't convert the API calls, but it would be a first step in the process.
Another way to handle the problem would be to choose a cloud-based web service or bridge solution. If you have a significant amount of program logic, exposing APIs in this way would allow you to maintain much of the code in its existing language, while making it invocable on other platforms.
