App To Run On Mac?

Is there a way to distribute my apps to mac users? I have not tried it on a mac, but assume it will not run?

What can I do to get this to work?:confused:

Thanks

The only way to run on a fruit computer would be to deploy into a VM there running Windows.

I think it goes back to when there were Apple II clones in the market and people needed a generic term.

Apple the Personal Computer Fruit

there is an option. You can use the MONO programming suite, which lets you create .net applications that run on most OSes, coupled with an open-source .net framework such as portable.NET

You could always have a look at this Wont say I can endorse it as I have never worked with it. It is visually based but how much conversion would be required to port your app's I have no idea. It does however compile for Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. The only things I can say is that some of their many customers complain but who doesn't get that. A lot of developers seem to like it but I have not downloaded the trial because quite frankly their website looks like it was put together by Mr Bean. I really hate software houses that cannot get their website together.

hmm "cross-platform framework"...

One thing you didn't mention was what programming language you're used to writing in.

so, if someone purchased some software for a mac, what *exactly* would be the steps required for the program to load and run on their computer?:confused:

Thank you

Sorry my system froze and I did not see all replies. I'm using VB as a language and want this to run on a mac.

you can't use vb6 on a mac. You can however write in a different basic that mac supports. do a google search for basic compilers for a mac . there are free ones. Realbasic is a good choice for this but it's not free. But it supports mac and linux both and you can do your development on a pc. I looked at the language and it is very similar to vb6 although it's got some oddities such as c-style comments.

Thank you. I assume my forms will change too? Does that mean I would have to re-write all the code? My app is large [code wise]. Is there an easier way? Is there something that than transfer this?? Thank you for your help.

try reading this:

evidently most code works unchanged and it can import your forms as well.
