Is it possible to use XCode to compile a plugin that will run on Mac OS X and in Windows also?
If it is, how can it be done? Thank you very much for any reply.Rui Batista

Not that I knew of.
If you only own a Mac, you could set up a virtual machine with e.g. VirtualBox (by Oracle, free) and install Windows in it.
In that Windows, install VisualStudio (maybe you can do it with the Express version, that one's free). -

You said that VisualStudio Express is free. Will that version be able to compile the plugins for Windows? -

Yes, but have a look whether it also supports 64 bit code now. When I bought my VisualStudio 2005, that feature was only available in the Professional versions, not in Express. (I would assume this is still the case, since they want to make money... although who's still using a 32 bit Windows...)

I got file system errors when VS was creating the binary (and it didn't matter if I was using an image or the native Win partition - which worked properly when used without Parallels); VMWare did the job.
Best regards,

Damn! I bought Parallels a long time ago and I really don't want to add another type of "emulator".
Would anyone be willing to compile my CMYK plugin for Windows now that I updated it to release 12?Rui Batista

I use the free VirtualBox on my mac to host a Windows XP installation and VisualStudio 2005 compiles fine. No problems at all.
Concerning the Expression versions of VisualStudio... yes, I read something about it not having a crosscompiler. But I also read about some tricks, making it possible to compile 64-bit binaries anyway. I can say nothing about any of these things, since I don't use the Express version. You'll have to find out, Rui.
