on the other hand you cant even compile for ios with a linux/windows pc.
- SSLy 6y agoYou can put OS X in a Windows or Linux hosted hypervisor, but the Apple doesn't want you to know about it.
- Lievelingsduif 6y agoHackintoshes break the TOS last time I checked. Some stuff can be built for Macs from Linux, stuff like the Godot game engine supports this. It is however a guess if they're going to allow that build or not.
- snuxoll 6y agoGodot doesn’t build Mac binaries on Linux, the export templates provided include the platform native binaries.
- viraptor 6y agoYou can, but it's illegal. You're only allowed to virtualise MacOS on MacOS host. You also have to obtain the system which as far as I can tell you can't buy anymore - you can only upgrade to.
- SSLy 6y agoJust because something is unauthorized or breaks EULA (mostly void here in EU anyway) doesn't mean it's illegal.
- viraptor 6y agoEven if you don't expect EULA to be enforced (will you pay for my lawyers/fine if it is?), you still need a copy of the system which you can't buy directly. You're left with unauthorised copies if you don't have any MacOS hardware and the same question - would you cover my legal costs?
- gruez 6y agoOn the flip side, why would it be legal? It's looks like a pretty cut case of copyright infringement. It's their software, you're not authorized to use it, but you're using it anyways.
- realusername 6y agoFirst it's illegal but secondly the performance is atrocious anyways (at least last time I've tried) so it won't even help you that much.
