make MacOSX applications with RS XE2 (step-by-step)

Anyway, I didn't intend to prove any platform better than another, the point was that with only cross-compilation, it isn't a full cross-platform solution yet. But it is certainly better than without the cross-compilation option.

Actually, from your posts it seemed exactly the opposite. You started to defend Mac at all costs after people mentioned that it was easier for them to develop on PC and compile for Mac. Sure, Delphi IDE ported to other platforms would be great, but it's not out yet. However, for all previous Delphi versions, this cross-compilation is an enormous jump and a huge improvement.

If you don't like and/or don't use Delphi and don't have plans on getting it, why commenting in this thread at all? Keep using XCode or whatever IDE/text editor of your preference, you can even write the machine code yourself if you want to, nobody is forcing you to switch.

But I only said that it was insufficient for people like me, from the Mac side. We don't want to work 100% on a PC. And that makes it a PC-to-Mac porting option, that is a bit limited.

Pascal options for the Mac are very much do-it-yourself, so I would have been very happy to see full Mac support.

Use a windows VM. If I was making decisions at EMB I would not put in any immediate effort into building delphi ID for Mac. There would be zero chance of getting any ROI any time soon. The cross-platform is aimed squarely at windows developers wanting to bridge onto a mac. I believe you would be maybe one of a handful people in the world working on Mac only and wanting to use pascal.
