Compilation/deployment question - C++
Hi There,
I am about to install a new server which will run my custom software - the server is on its way. It is a dual Xeon (not dual core, two single core, x64 Irwindale processors) based hardware for my home hobby project.
I worked for about four and a half year developing for Solaris - always using corporate provided SPARC systems. Since I was very satisfied with the O/S and the dev. environment, I decided to use that for my home project as well.
So the question finally is, if I install my hardware in a hosting center and would like to develop/build for the mentioned box, what build machine will I have to have? I would like to create a binary on the other box and then just copy for deployment. Do I need to build one more dual Xeon box or can I use a desktop PC for that? I understand that using Java would be probably easier in this particular case but I am a C++ developer for quite some years and probably it would take more time to llearn how to write decent java software than resolving this issue. Probably...
Thanks :)
