[Solved]Mac/Linux Build on Windows

#1 Post by Farryn »

Hi all,

I feel like I'm missing something very obvious but I haven't been able to find a concrete answer to whether I can make mac/linux builds with just my windows pc. I was looking to use the Windows, Mac, and Linux for Markets build option but am not sure if I need to do anything else beside uploading it to itch.io and steam? Does uploading it through butlet/steamworks take care of it?

If not, has anyone tried using a virtual machine for their builds? That's what I'd be looking into next.

Thanks!

According to PyTom, you can export mac builds with Windows or Linux.
Exporting Linux builds from Windows also works.

When it won't work is if you're using some python or other function that specifically doesn't work with that OS

Thank you very much! Of course the one thread I need has the one word I did search for(builds instead of build) XD
