Possibly. But then they will need to install a virtual machine
anyway to test the Windows port ...
Just for clarification: this is *much* less trouble than described.
All OSX VMs can expose the local OSX folders to Windows,
Sure - the gnustep-make route is also much less trouble then, since
you can type 'make' inside the shared Xcode folder
directly without having to copy anything ;-)
Additionally the build system of Xcode is quite a bit faster
Well, yes, Xcode will certainly have all of GCC and the binutils/
linker chain very optimized if you
build for anything Apple; but to cross-compile to Windows, Cocotron
use their own compiler and linker - taken
from the very same pool of GNU tools that GNUstep uses - so I don't
expect you'll see much difference
between Cocotron and GNUstep here. ;-)
Anyway, you have good points that cross-compiling from Xcode might be
appealing to some people. :-)
It wouldn't be difficult to set up a similar thing for cross-compiling
from Apple to Windows using GNUstep.
You need to get a MinGW cross-compilation environment running on your
Apple, then get the GNUstep
libraries in it. Then tell Xcode to use the cross-compilation
compiler. :-)
Thanks
