Cocoa Apps running on Windows XP

[jc_mac]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to run Cocoa Applications compiled as Universal

Binaries on Windows XP. I guess it would require some kind of reversed WINE for

the app to access Frameworks and what else.

 

Thanks for your insights on this.

ha, i guess no such thing out yet.

but you can always try booting the x86version in VMWare or PearPC.

On Linux, you can try GNUSTEP, but I'm not sure that it will work (no Quartz…)

No way to do this in any shape or form.

What about tunneling the display through SSH like one can do with Xorg/X11 on a *nix system and Windows?

 

The only way to pipe the display of a program running natively on a *nix machine onto a Windows computer is if the graphic libraries associated with Xorg/X11 are installed on the Windows machine. Is it possible in any way to set up something similar for OS X? The appropriate libraries would need to be installed on the Windows computer, but would the libraries also need to be compiled for the Windows enviornment? I'm obviously a bit unclear of all the technicalities involved, but this seems the most likely way of "running" an OS X program on Windows.
