Crossplatform, multi PC development tools

[Tzarls]

Say you have to develop a project and build it in Windows, Linux and Mac OS. You hace a couple of Desktop PCs to develop (each multiboot or using VirtualBox for the different systems) and a Laptop for when developing on the road.

What would be you preferred method for keeping code in sync?

JUCE+git.

And what about placement of library files? For example, in my NetBook I have some of my libs in a folder named "D:\Tzarls\000 Dev Libs". The problem is that in my other PC, my system drive is "D" and my docs drive is "E" - I have to put my libs in D so I can copy project files without problem, but I hate having such files in my system drive.

How would you deal with that situation?

Use an environment variable to specify the root (D: or E:), and build the paths using that.

Aha! Nice and simple! Thanks!

About code synchronization among different PCs/plaforms.... what do you think about this?

SVN is evil. Use git, if you can. I would guess Dropbox would work with git too (but better check about that first)...Also you wouldn't necessarily need the code repository to be on the web. I use local network sharing between my Windows PC and OS-X laptop. (The "sync" git repository is on the desktop machine and then there are working directories on both the desktop machine and the laptop used for development and building.)

Since I've got some Subversion repositories set up, I don't see why it should be evil. But git's OK as well.
