Hmm, depends on what you regard as easy ;-) The most reliable way (which could be considered easiest) is to build the extension on each platform. An alternative, that I don't think anyone has tried, is to cross-compile for the target platforms from the same box. This is uncharted territory AFAIK and there is a chance that our build system might not like it. If you feel like giving it a go, I'd welcome you feedback :-) --Wez.
