Question

You could try using QT, which is cross platform. Also there is something called the Cocotron, which allows you to port Cocoa apps to other platforms. Basically Cocotron is just a custom made AppKit and Foundation, which runs on both windows linux and mac. QT works with C++, Cocotron with objective-c/objective-c++ obviously.

Cocotron is really cool if you wanna know more about the possible internals of a lot of Apple's obj-c classes.
