R devel - Oct 2005 - Cross compiler taqrgeting Mac OS X

Hi,

I have been asked to produce a binary of some software for somone 
running R on Mac OS X. I don't have a Mac and don't know anything about 
them.
The sloution would seem to be to obtain/build a crsoo compiler on
windows or probably easier on Linux i686. I would appreciate any advice 
on how how to go about this. I understand there are a number of 
different versions of Mac OS X. Are there compatability issues?
also 32/64 bit issues.

      Dave

If it is open-source work, get yourself an account on sourceforge -
they have a compile-farm for this sort of purpose, and they have one (or 
two?), I have used the Mac OS X machine there.  This way, at least
you can test your work natively on Mac OS X. A bit easier to do than
cross-compiling.

Good luck.
