We have used a population synthesis programme to calculate the soft X-ray emission from the 30 Dor cluster. Contributions from the single and binary stellar population are included. The intended future use of the programme is the simulation of extra-galactic starbursts. Nearby clusters with violent star-formation activity provide suitable training grounds. Using our programme, we confirm that the stellar population of 30 Dor cannot by itself produce the totality of the observed soft X-ray emission.
