C++ – Is it possible to use Xcode for Linux development?

Is it possible to use Xcode for Linux development?… here is a solution to the problem.

Is it possible to use Xcode for Linux development?

My team is planning to start development on the Linux platform. Previously, we had been using MS Visual Studio to develop C++ applications in Windows. Recently, I fell in love with Mac OSX and used it as my personal development machine.

The question arises again: is it possible to use Xcode for Linux development?

The application we’re building is a real-time application that doesn’t require fancy GUIs or advanced user interaction, and focuses on performance.

Solution

As long as you stick with cross-platform interfaces (glibc, POSIX, STL, etc.), sure. However, you may need a Linux machine to actually build the binaries for Linux.
