Has anyone considered (or done) compilation of code for the Mac in a
language on a UNIX host? C, Coneuc, Modula .... ? What problems
might be anticipated in doing this (assuming one had a proper binary
downline loader)?
Since Apple now seems to say that compilation for Macintosh on Macintosh
will not be possible until the half-meg Macs arrive, and I don't want
to have to buy a Lisa (the point of the Mac is price!), the best alternative
seems to be to use one of the nice languages available on UNIX.
I'm pretty sure that one can get the binary files into a Mac file, but
have no idea how to make them runnable, or how to link to the toolbox
routines. Presumably some of this information is in "Inside Macintosh",
but is there enough information there? I don't want to shell out US$150
if it won't provide the information.
