Cross-Compiling for OS X from Linux or Windows

Compiling code for OS X outside of a Mac environment can be a challenge. Fortunately, several tools and solutions can facilitate this process for those working in Linux or Windows.

Linux

For Linux users, there is a prebuilt GCC cross-compiler available, based on publicly accessible Apple's modified GCC sources:

• Embarcadero RadStudio: Embarcadero's RadStudio also supports building OS X/iOS/Android apps on Windows.
• Cross-compilation tools: Thomas' answer (included in the provided answer content) provides an alternative cross-compilation tool.

Note:

Regardless of the method or tool used, it's important to note that a physical Mac or i-device is still required to test the compiled applications.
