You might want to take a look at cmake (http://www.cmake.org/). It’s a
multiplatform build system that will handle the os’s you wish. In a
nutshell, from one common configuration file, it generates a native build
system for each target os. In the case of Windows, for example, you can
generate NMake makefiles, Visual Studio solutions and other forms. One of
the nicest features of it, I think, is that it can generate VS solution
files for VS 6+, something that VS itself can quite seem to do.
It also has autoconf/automake/configure features, only they don’t feature a
deep seasoning of masochism (IMO), and they also actually work on something
that isn’t UNIX-ish.
That being said, it won’t natively handle WDK BUILD, though support for that
can be added (I’ve done that).
You could do this on one physical machine with virtualization. Getting to
work to build for multiple os’s with one target would require something
else, possibly of your own creation.
Good luck,
mm

Subject: [ntdev] Building the software for multiple operating systems.
I would like to compile/build my software in Windows, linux, and MAC, in
x86, and in amd64 architecture prefereably in same machine. Some layers of
the software are common across all 3 operating systems, but drivers are
separate for each o.s. The Idea is not to break the common code for other
o.s es if the change is required for one o.s es.
Ideally a single script trigger can build the code for multiple operating
systems is preferable.
Is there any software available that can facilitate the compilation acorss
multiple operating systems???. Any virtualization technology already
available?.
If you have previous experience, please guide me.
P.S I know my question it is not speicific to Windows. Sorry.
