Is there something new going on with Cocotron? Seems like it was all but abandoned years ago.

The Cocotron (2006) ...might be a better title.

Maybe the posters hoping someone will revive it.

I wonder if it works still. Being able to compile for Linux and Windows from the same Xcode project would be really nice.

Last time I tried, it did, but it was a lot of work to get running with the version of Xcode at that time. The mailing list had a lot of details on what needs to be done to get the toolchain up and running. It was a tough slog but I did get it working.

It's worth noting that Microsoft used a lot of Cocotron for their WinObjC porting project. Depending on your needs it might be worth a look. I was porting a desktop Mac app, so it was less useful.
