Abstract
One of the many difficulties that Macintosh software evelopers must face is
how to justify to their management the expense of development on the Mac
when less
than 1/10 of users are on it. Cross-platform development seems to be the
only economically feasible way, yet so many of these approaches give you
"lowest
common denominator" solutions. This paper will detail some of the many
approaches to cross-platform evelopment from a Macintosh perspective,
looking at the pros and cons of various frameworks and modern RAD
applications. Highlights and pitfalls will be addressed for environments
such as REALbasic and Java, but most emphasis will be placed on a C++
development
perspective. Frameworks such as CPLAT, wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows) and Qt
will be looked at, as well some legacy frameworks. Design principles which
expedite a cross-platform strategy (such as MVC) will also be discussed. In
the end, some recommendations can be made for best practices and viable
approaches, plus downloadable sample projects will be made available.
