Compiled application cross platform compatibility using the MCR?

I have compiled a program using the deploytool on a PC running Windows 7 64-bit. I am wanting to be able to run the application that was created on a Mac with OSX that does not have MatLab installed on it. I have installed the proper MCR on the mac successfully but have been unable to run the program. Is it possible to compile an application on one platform and run it on the other or is this something that is not supported? I am using the R2012a version of MatLab. Also I noted that there were some environments that needed to be changed on the mac, how do you do this? and what all needs to be changed?

The executable has to be built on the same operating system family as the target.
