title: Compiling C++ for OSX from Windows
body: <p>I have a small console based, standards compliant, C++ program that I developed in Visual Studio on Windows. Since it is in standard C++, is all I need to do is compile it for OSX? or am I being overly optimistic?</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for the easiest and most straightforward way to do this. Is it possible to do from Visual Studio 2012 Professional? If necessary I have access to a Mac. However, since my dev platform is Windows, it would be nice if I could do it from here.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not experienced with mac development at all. When you compile an application for OSX, what do you get instead of a .exe?</p>
