Can one use a Mac to compile BSD web programs and then upload these BSD
programs
to a BSD server?
Can one create ELF on Mac and upload to a linux server fairly easily..
(compared
to Windows where it is harder to make Elf's)
No. The trouble of
Cross compiling on a Mac is no more difficult than cross-compiling on
BSD or Linux. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you need to
generate i386 programs, the host compiler has to be an i386 binary as
well currently.
Which Mac compilers/computers not capable of producing i386?
The fact that we cannot use JCL code inside freepascal is in fact very much on
topic. The fact that the freepascal compiler is distributed with a license
called GPL is in fact very much on topic since it relates to the Pascal
compiler, download, installation, etc.
