Probably this question has been asked and answered before, but I wonder if there is a way to cross-compile D code so that you can work on one platform and simultaneously create code for other platforms. In my case it would be Mac to Linux. I can imagine that there are a lot of dependency issues (especially on Windows).

Very informative post.

P.S.: Chris, you could try a GCC cross-compiler. It isn't easy the first time, but it should work if done right. One hurdle for example is that you need to chose the correct GDC development branch. The main branch targets the .8 series, which isn't stabilized, and there is a compatibility branch for .7. There is a wiki page on building a GDC cross-compiler somewhere as well, maybe a bit outdated.
