So you CAN build an OS X app from another system...

[Richard Gaskin]

...if that system is Linux.

Earlier here we discussed the difficulty of making Mac builds from other 
OSes, and at the time we were focused on Windows.

I just ran this simple test on Ubuntu 10.04:

1. Make a Mac standalone
2. Zipped it
3. Copied the Zip file via USB drive (FAT16, FWIW) to my Mac
4. Unzipped it
5. Double-clicked it

RESULT: Ran just fine.

Apparently since both OS X and Linux have the same Unix executable bit, 
it carries over across platforms.


I've been lusting after the Lemur UltraThin from System76:

Knowing that I can build for all three platforms from that system pushes 
a bit closer to getting one....
