Multi Platform

Lets say I have a finished product.

1)To get it to be multi platform I would need it to be compiled on the other platforms?

2)If I dont have the other platforms (Mac etc), would I need to send someone else the code, or is there a service for this. (Im not asking anyone to volunteer)

3)Its not going to work on the other platforms straight out of the Box is it? I would need to tweak it for each platform? or Not?

4) Anyone want to say anything about cross platform

1. True
2. Not aware of a service.
3. I would say it would not work 100%.

The simple solution would be to get a Mac, then recompile and find out. It depends very much on what you've done in your code. The only thing I changed for my little blackjack game was where the preferences were stored, everything else worked without any change on both Windows and OS X.

If you get someone to compile it for you, you will need that person to recompile it each time you need to fix a bug or upgrade something. Not really practical.

Yeah, IMO, if you're going to take developing cross platform seriously, you're gonna have to get access to all supported platforms.
