You can't cross compile on an x86?
- michaelt 4y agoSome things can be cross-compiled, sure. But a lot of projects have tests they want to run on their target platforms. If you build your Linux release on Windows, you might accidentally release a .zip where your binaries aren't executable. If you set up cross-compiling to Mac 5 years ago and tested it then, perhaps in the meantime code signing has become mandatory. If you build and test on Linux and release to Windows, perhaps you'll get tripped up by filenames becoming case-insensitive. Some projects are keen on testing on all target platforms to flush out issues like that.
