Compiled program on PC, need to run MCR on mac

Hello,

I have written a program in R2011a and then built a GUI with guide. This was done on a 64 bit windows machine. I compiled the program using deploytool, the compiled program works fine on my machine. I would like to distribute the program to other people who use 32 bit windows and 64 bit intel macs (all without MATLAB installed). Is this possible in any way? Since I only have the 64 bit 7.15 MCR available in my MATLAB install directory I cannot package either the 32 bit or the 64 bit mac 7.15 MCR with my compiled program. Plus only the 7.17 MCR's are available online, and I've even read that you can only run your compiled program on other machines the same as the original machine (ie 64 bit windows). Is there any work around? It would be really disappointing if it's really that limited; and I don't really know a lot about it.

Thanks in advance!

There is no publicly known work-around for distribution from Windows to OS-X.

For 64 bit windows to 32 bit windows, you can install the 32 bit version of MATLAB as well (and the compiler toolbox) and generate 32 bit windows versions on your 64 bit machine. That is supported starting from about your version (but I would need to research the exact first version it was officially supported on.)
