Hi there,
Seeing that Xcode supports the new system of SDKs to target
other versions of Mac OS X, is there any intentions to extend this
infrastructure to support targeting different platforms?
For example, if one was to put together a GCC cross-compiler
for targeting x86 linux or Min-GW, would it be conceivable to use
Xcode as the development, build and remote debugging environment?
Xcode is ultimately just a frontend to the GCC toolchain after all.
Or am I just mad?
This was answered earlier on this list and the answer was that Xcode is
currently targeted at Mac OS X development only with the exception of
the Java platform which is platform independant.
Apple has not mentioned any plans to enable cross-platform development
through XCode and, in my experience, does not pre-announce product
plans of that nature.
It certainly is concievable that you could use XCode for cross-platform
development. If through no other mechanism you could always use the
makefile based build targets and gcc compiler options to target other
architectures and platforms.
