title: cross platform development
body: <p>I have questions on true cross platform development and if it is possible to use ONE platform to develop software. </p>
  
  <p>I have a few applications that I write that work on OS X, Windows and Linux. They all use native platform toolkits with some shared source across platforms. I have to boot to each platform, checkout, compile, etc.</p>
  
  <p>I have in the past tried GUI toolkits like QT (I bought a commercial license for Win, mac, Linus, but very expensive and paying it year after year became hard). I have tried WxWidgets, development moves slow. </p>
  
  <p>So what I am thinking about is there a way to run a single platform and cross compile for other platforms so I can build my products from a single platform.</p>
  
  <p>I favor OS X, is there a way to write apps for OS X, Windows, Linux from OS X where I just need to test on each platform respectively. I have found information on cross compilers, stub compiling, etc, etc. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any thoughts? Is this even possible? Would someone make a killing creating such a beast?</p>
