Anyone developed on both Mac and Windows?

When I imported my Visual Studio project into MonoDevelop (aka Xamarin Studio) on my Mac, all the paths have "Program Files (x86)" in them, so of course it won't compile.  Anybody else try creating a project file that works on both and lets you go back and forth?

Yes.  You can set reference paths in the project settings, and it will also look for DLLs there (this is set in the csproj.user file, which shouldn't be included in source control and thus won't be shared when you compile on a different platform/computer).  I also remove the hint paths from the project file, but I don't think that's necessary.

Thanks!  I also have a post-build step of copying my mod's .dll to the mod directory under GameData, and to start KSP.  Is there an easy way to genericize that? Using configuration variables or something?

What I usually do is have it build into a GameData/WhateverMod/Plugins directory in the repository (which can use a relative path so it's not platform dependent), and then symlink GameData/Whatever into the KSP install I'm testing on.  The DLL itself may or may not be under version control.

I ended up just editing .csproj file by hand, adding these lines:

 

  <!-- Note that the OS for Mac is 'Unix', not sure how to specify a different dir on Linux if I ever needed to. -->
  <!-- Also, this assumes a Steam install in the default location, so its really a hack. -->
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(OS)' == 'Unix' ">
    <KSPDir>/Users/$(USER)/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program</KSPDir>
    <KSPExe>$(KSPDir)/KSP.app/Contents/MacOS/KSP</KSPExe>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(OS)' == 'Windows_NT' ">
    <KSPDir>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program</KSPDir>
    <KSPExe>$(KSPDir)\KSP.exe</KSPExe>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <KSPModDir>$(KSPDir)/GameData/AscentOptimizer/Plugins</KSPModDir>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <Target Name="AfterBuild">
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(OutputPath)/AscentOptimizer.dll" DestinationFolder="$(KSPModDir)" />
    <Exec Command="&quot;$(KSPExe)&quot;" />
  </Target>
