And for these things, and especially the LabVIEW runtime, NI is free to define whatever license conditions they like and they decided that running these on non-NI hardware generally will require a paid license from them.
LABVIEW 2013 LINUX RUNTIME FULL
But NI Linux RT while a full OS is simply that! No LabVIEW runtime, NI-VISA runtime, NI-488.2 runtime, NI-DAQmx runtime, NI-RIO, NI-this and NI-that.

That is open source and NI provides all the sources to recreate it, if you wish. You do not pay for a runtime license of the Linux kernel. You can't just recreate them for your target system and you are not allowed to copy them over from another LabVIEW RT system without expressed consent from NI and in the case of the LabVIEW runtime engine an actual license payment too!

Now, NI Linux RT is of course a nice thing but completely useless as a target for LabVIEW RT without also the LabVIEW runtime engine, NI-VISA, NI-DAQmx, NI-half a hundred other software libraries and drivers. My guess is you have to setup a linux cross compile setup on your PC, then download the NI Linux RT source code and go through the configuration settings of the linux compilation, selecting everything that would make sense for your (virtual) target hardware. That gives you in the end a hopefully working Linux RT kernel that is compatible to NI Linux RT. I haven't really looked into this and I'm not aware of such a specific guide. There is a guide, experience or an image with which you can configure a desktop PC to a Linux NI RT ?
