Compile for a MAC on a PC

[rlwoodjr]

Does anyone know if it is possible to compile for a Mac on a PC using Visual C++?

I have a friend who want a game for a MAC, but all I have is a PC

It is possible to install MacOSX (a modified and rather non-legal version) under VMWare on your PC, providing you have the correct hardware.
My hardware is incompatible though, so it didn't work for me

What do you want to compile? I develop on a Mac.

I am new to C++, most of my coding as a design engineer is in Visual Basic for application using Excel. I have a friend that is wanting to make a program where you can drive a tractor (a John Deere) in a virtual world. I have always enjoyed programming and thought this would improve my C++ skills. Honestly I am in over my head at the moment but I am starting to get some of the C++ syntax.

Is there a free compiler for a Mac that I can run on my friends MAC once I write the code?

Assuming your friend's Mac is newish, i.e running OS X 3 or greater, then XCode which comes on the installer disks is the thing to use.

I followed this tutorial to get Irrlicht running on my Mac and it seemed pretty straighforward:
