Windows & Mac development

Post by nalenb » Thu Feb 17, 2005 9:09 am

I'm aware that Vault does not yet run under Mac OSX, but may work from the command line via mono (I haven't tried it yet, but greatly prefer using the gui). Until the gui is available for MacOSX (and I realize that's an if and parts are probably out of SourceGear's hands), I'm wondering what people are doing for development that's on the Mac and on Windows.

I'm about to start a port of one of my projects to Mac OSX. My project has a minor Windows UI portion and a lot of standard C++ backend code. I plan to add a minor OSX UI portion and share the same backend code. I'd like to keep everything in Vault, and obviously the Mac needs access to the files controlled by Vault.

My first thought is to check in/out to a directory on Windows and share that drive with the Mac. This seems to work, although it is a little cumbersome switching between the two whenever a file needs to be checked in/out.

If it matters I'm a sole developer and the Windows/Mac machines are connected on a local network and switched using a KVM switch.

What solutions have others come up with?
