Compile to a different OS

I am new to PB. I am using windows. How to compile my application to a different OS (Mac, Lunix, etc)? I can see in the menus “Default target” and “All targets” but they are not working. And in the compiler options there are Windows, Console, and Dll only and no other OS.

Hi,

This is not possible with PB. You can only run another computer (or a virtual machine) with your wanted OS, then install the appropriate PB version there and compile your program there.

To elaborate, PureBasic is not a 'cross compiler'. It can only compile to the OS you're running on. The multiple targets in this case include whether it's debug or not, and 32bit versus 64bit, if you have both 32bit and 64bit compilers installed on a single OS.
