I've posted bit now regarding a cross-platform app I'm working on.
It will be Cocoa on the Mac and .NET on Windows. The Windows UI will
be written in C#. But I'm now realizing that I have two seemingly
reasonable choices for the platform-independent code: C++ (as
Managed-C++ compatible as possible) or Java (as J#-compatible as
possible).
A third option: Objective-C for the model code. Wrap in a COM
wrapper for Windows.
How does one compile the Obj-C in Windows?
mingw or cygwin provide gcc and build tools. If you want to deliver to
a plain Windows box, mingw is the better alternative.
GNUstep provides (at least) a Foundation. I have used this to port my
frameworks to Windows and deliver a custom version of TextLightning
(command-line only) to customers.
Cheers,
Marcel
