Is there any way to work on Objective-J in Windows platform ?
Any such IDE, Compiler for Objective-J for windows ?
Is Cappuccino developed only for Windows?
Objective-J can be developed in Windows. If you don't need to compile Cappuccino itself, you should be able to just download the starter pack on http://cappuccino.org/download/ and go from there. The jake and objjc compilers should work just fine (although I haven't tested it). If you want to compile Cappuccino yourself, you'll probably need to install Cygwin to get gcc (its preprocessor is used).
Many Cappuccino coders use the Sublime Text 2 to edit Objective-J and Cappuccino code. That editor is available for Windows and I expect the Objective-J and Cappuccino package will work just fine there.
I'm pretty sure none of our build tools actually work on Cygwin. If they do, there are a lot of hoops you have to jump through. That will be something we have to work on when we move aeverything to node.js.
As for your question, like Alexander said, you don't need to compile it yourself... When you're ready to deploy, Andy Linux box will run the build tools just fine.

I was wondering if there is any Borland cross compiler that can make my windows code work on linux without wine.I'm using winxp with delphi 7. I was always wondering if it was possible to code same tool I coded in windows , again in Linux and how is it possible to code same tool by using pascal code in linux.Thanks
The best solution is Lazarus, the delphi-like GUI for Free Pascal. If you were using "pure" vcl, without Windows internales or any special add-ons the migration will be a pice of cake :)
Take a look here: http://lazarus.freepascal.org
BTW - Lazarus and FPC are true mulitplatform - you can compile code for Linux, Windows, MacOS and more with the same codebase :)
Your only option, if you want a Borland Delphi cross-compiler, is CrossKylix. This isn't a real cross-compiler. Instead you run the Kylix compiler for Linux under an emulated Linux environment.
Note that you'll be forced to use CLX rather than VCL and that Kylix is well and truly dead nowadays. Personally I think Wine is probably an easier and better option.
First of all, it all depends on what system functions you used in your programm. In most cases, there will be no possibility to cross-compile it under linux.
But, in some cases Borland Kylix can help, but, afaik, it's almost dead now.
Delphi 10.2 Tokyo supports Linux 64-bit Native Code Compilations.

We have created C&C++ applications based on Aix 6.1 (fortran for some models).
To improve our productivity (we use emacs or vi as editor, xlc/xlC/xlf as compiler, dbx to debug, IBM Synergy as configuration management tool), we are looking for an windows IDE to allow:
to modify our source code more easily,
to compile as if we are under unix
We also are logging for a graphical debugger.
Thank you for some ideas
I think that Emacs has been ported to Windows. And also GCC and Gnu make.
I've had some success with remote developing for AIX/Unix on Windows via a couple of routes.
Eclipse has some options. You can "mount" your project via ssh/rcp, and it will run the compiler remotely capturing the output. I did't attempt debugging but I assume support is there as well, especially if you use gdb.
BVRDE is another option. Works nicely. This link is also valid.
I also worked with XBuildStudio, it has some similar features to BVRDE.
Give them a try and see if any of them work for you.
Eclipse is a good one, but personally I prefer Codeblocks with Fortran plugin.
Is it possible to make a non-Mac/iOS application with Xcode? Or if it is impossible, can you suggest any other environment to an ultimate noob?
P.S.: I have Snow Leopard on my Mac.
P.P.S: I think, I asked a wrong question. Everything started with one problem: C++ environment with debug function for Mac. Xcode is just a variant.
You can install a cross compiling gcc suit. However I'm not sure if that makes sense with Objective-C as you would need to restrict yourself to non apple APIs (like Gnu Step).
I would suggest to learn Java instead and use an IDE like Eclipse (or any other cost free IDE like IDEA IntelliJ or NetBeans).
I would like to build a GUI for an OCaml application I'm writing. My first idea was to use GTK+. I would like my application to run on Macs, Linux, Windows with a natural look and feel. I know that, while GTK+ uses X11 on the Mac by default (which looks awful), there is gtk-osx-application which uses quartz and looks natural and which I've just installed using macports.
I have three questions:
(1) Is it actually possible to use gtk-osx-application +quartz+no_x11 with OCaml? (My GODI installation which previously (with x11-based gtk2 in place) installed lablgtk2 with no problems, now (with gtk-osx-application +quartz+no_x11 and the previous x11-based gtk2 removed) is complaining about not finding /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib, which is x11 related. But, as far as I know, there's no way to choose quartz over x11 when installing lablgtk2 through GODI.)
(2) If I develop my code on my Mac using the gtk-osx-application, can I use the code as is for compilation in other platforms which use different GTKs or can this bring problems?
(3) If it does bring problems, do you know of any other environment for developing GUIs in OCaml that may potentially be good regarding both look and feel and still be readily cross-used? (I am aware of labltk but I'd prefer something with more capabilities, for example, the ability to use notebooks, a.k.a tabbed panels, and being able to use Glade for rapid GUI design.)
Thanks for any help!
Cheers,
Surikator
Assuming you can get lablgtk to work, it is probably your best bet at present.
To get it working: have you tried rebuilding lablgtk after removing X11 GTK and installing Quartz GTK? A LablGTK built against X11 GTK naturally won't work on a Quartz GTK, as it will be linked against the wrong library, but a rebuild might be successful. It could also be that LablGTK won't correctly detect that X11 integration calls don't work and therefore fail to build, but I would expect that to be not-too-difficult to fix as LablGTK does support Windows.
If you develop code for GTK on Mac, it should work on other platforms just fine. You'll want to test it, of course, but it should work. Do be careful to use the GTK facilities to make things like dialog button order work properly.
I think there was at one time a set of OCaml bindings to wxWidgets, but they do not seem to be widely used and wx is painful to work with in my experience. There has also been some work on making Qt bindings, which would be awesome, but I don't think there are any projects with good headway on that front yet.
If the UI is a small-ish piece of your project, you could look at decoupling it from the backend and writing the UI in C++ with Qt, or writing platform-native UIs, and having the UI call out to OCaml code in an embedded runtime to get the real work done. But that is likely more work and may not give you much benefit, depending on your application.
So: GTK is your best option in the current landscape.
I want to start making a little window-based program that runs on both Linux and Windows flawlessly.
It must have a GUI. What are the things I should be reading about? I'm completely in the dark regarding this.
Thank you.
If you want to leverage your C#/.NET knowledge (IronPython,...), you should go with Mono. Its IDE is called MonoDevelop and works in Linux, Mac and Windows. You can keep using WinForms or switch to Gtk#, which is a nice wrapper around gtk+.
Also, make sure you read the application portability guidelines which covers different strategies and common pitfalls.
Enjoy!
You could try Java and run the same compiled bytecode in both places. Or try C++ with Qt or wxWidgets. With C++ though you will have to compile for each platform. Another possibility is Tcl/Tk
As a C# developer, I'd suggest Java with the Swing toolkit. NetBeans helps you get started easily, like Visual Studio.
Download, install, create a new prject, and there you have it; a form in front of you to drop controls and hook up to the code just like in VS + C#, except it's cross-platform (write once, run anywhere). And the language is very similar to C# (which was actually inspired by it). There are also countless books to help you get started with Java and GUI development in it too.
If you don't like Java for some reason, and you're willing to learn/use C++ (with extensions), have a go at Qt, and the Qt SDK, which includes a form designer as well, with a really nice IDE GUI. If you know C++, Qt should be a breeze. It's also cross-platform (write once, compile anywhere).
Good luck.
If you want to utilize your C# knowledge, you might want to have a look at Mono. But there are many, many other alternatives too.
