Compile Linux App On Mac
The app is portable and compiles without any code change on Mac and on Linux. But one annoyance is that when I want to ship Linux version, I have to run my Linux box, copy the source code over there (over USB drive, because I have no network there, it's an old laptop) and compile it, then copy it again over USB to my Mac and upload it. Using make Command on OSX to compile application is quite useful as many OS X applications’ source code is distributed as Free Softwares while the dmg are paid. Definitely, this is not only the reason; there are much more reasons why we will use make command or rather compile fro source code.
Doing otherwise is piracy and isn’t cool.
The Clif Notes version: the laptop on which I was running Linux died, and I have been unable to find any PPC virtualization software which would allow me to run a PPC version of Linux on my G5 in a virtual machine. I have found a few tidbits through google about compiling Mac-on-Linux for OS X, but nothing concrete. Does anyone know if it's possible?
