Title: Porting code for use on a Mac
Post by: lawsonm1 on January 06, 2020, 09:45:23 am

I wrote a program and I run it on my Windows 8/10 machines at home. I have a friend that has an Apple Macbook and wants to use the program as well. Is there a way that I can port the code on my machine, so it can run on a Macbook? Or do I have to have them install the macOS version on their Macbook, and compile/run my source code? In my younger days with assembly language, we used to call them cross-compilers..... Thanks, Mike

QB64 cannot cross-compile. You'll have to compile it on a macOS machine to distribute the binary (or instruct your friend to compile it themselves).

Yep, I figured that; but wanted to ask anyway. Thank you for the help. Mike
