I'm try to figure out if I should work with xcode or C++ on the Mac.
As far as I know, xcode is exclusive for the mac. So last week I had to translate some C++ code to have a windows webserver run and compile on a linux machine. This was fairly easy, all I had to do was change a couple APIs and small parts of the structure. However, say I had a server written in xcode for the macintosh, and I need to translate it into something that can be run on a linux\windows machine, because xcode can't compile on linux or windows, I'd need to translate it into C++ correct? So this would result in not just changing the libraries and APIs used, but converting to whole new programming language, and due to the differences in C++ and xcode, restructure a large portions of my program. This is why I'd much rather choose C++ over xcode, but am I incorrect? If so, what can be a solution here? This is the case for many of my projects.
