macOS Compiling Programs For macOS Unix from Linux

[Aerogel91]

First off, hello everyone. 🙂 I'm too poor to own a Mac, but I'm still interested in porting cool Programs for all of you Macheads to enjoy (I mean that in a positive way). 🙂 As my Profile states, I Program in many Languages, but I'm just starting on Swift. Is Swift the only way to make macOS-compatible Programs, or am I in Luck? 😀 It's nice to meet you all, and it's nice to finally be on these Forums. 🙂

No, you can use whatever languages you want.

I figured as much. 🙂 I'll also look into MacPorts too. Thanks! 🙂

There are toolchains available for that, but I don't see that going very well, developing for a system you don't own (and can't test on).

Yeah, but I was hoping the luckier among us might be able to test my Programs out. 🙂

You could buy an old 2008 or later mac for a few bucks if you just want to get started.

Java is one of cross platform (not 100% though).
GNU toolchain pretty much portable to OS X too.
Or you'd better try hackintosh on your Computer.
As OS X sdk base on clang, you should try LLVM on linux?
