Cross compilation from Windows to Linux

Hi,

I get:

“Sorry, packaging a code-based project for the selected platform is currently not supported. This feature may be available in a future release.”

In VS i have no Linux build option available. Only Win32/64 and html5.

Here A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums is written that:

“As of 4.17 you won’t have it on a source version of the engine for some reason.”

My question: Am i able to compile a game from 4.17 if i want to use Visual Studio to do so?
