Create an Xcode project on a Linux machine

Question

Without manually creating a GNUmake file, create any tools that understand Xcode projects and can create them directly against GNUstep by creating a Linux executable, thereby simplifying (a bit) the work needed to support projects running under Cocoa / Mac and GNUstep / Linux?

Basically, is there an xcodebuild style app for Linux?

I looked at pbtomake a few weeks ago, but it seems to be a dead project.

Answer 1

It is probably easier to create a set of compilers and binutils that run on OS X but target Linux.

Answer 2

Looks like you need to look at cocotron . It allows you to use a subset of Cocoa and compile for OS X, Windows, and Linux. This is not GNUstep, but it seems to be working on what I tried it with. Compilation is done from within Xcode, so this is not 100% what you are asking for.

Answer 3

I think you can use GNUstep pbxbuild , which is different from Mac OS X. I'm not sure how complete it is, but it is definitely worth a try.

Answer 4

It is best to just ssh into a suitable OS X machine and build there (using xcodebuild).
