Cross Compiling on Mac OS X and Windows?

[ariejan]

Hey all. I know IrrLicht runs on many platforms, but in my situation I want to create two versions: Universal Mac OS X and Windows.

I already have a project setup in XCode (on my mac) and all is good. But how do I go about 'porting' my app to Windows? What's the best approach here?

Should I create a new project with Visual Studio (Express?) and compile from there? Or maybe all I need is a script that will kick-off the compilation process on Windows?

If you're cross-compiling your game please let me know how you go about it.

Thanks!

Yes, create a new project in MSVC. It's easily made and you can more easily change compile properties than by chaing nmake makefiles.

Oh, that's really nice! Is any version of MSVC recommended?

I use Code::Blocks for my projects with following compilers:
- GCC for Linux
- LLVM 3.0 for MacOSX
- MS Visual C++ 2010 for Windows
Of course I compile each project under dedicated platform, so MacOSX version under MacOSX, Linux version under Linux etc.
