Build my app for Windows, Mac OS and linux from Linux

I currently have an application that works like a charm on windows and Linux, and usually I compile it directly on the desired machine. So far I have tired both on Windows\Linux and 32bits\64bits versions.

Now I want to be able to build my app for Windows, Mac OS and Linux from Linux command line. It will be used in these platforms, and I plan to make successive compilations to different directories. For Linux, and Windows, I expect it to be simple since I can use mingw-g++ and everything is practically setup for me. But what about building the Mac OS libraries\ executable? I have close to 0 knowledge of Mac environment.

What should I take in account?
Do I need any other cross-compiler than mingw-gcc ?
Is there any qmake spec I can use ?
What should I be specifically careful about when compiling the different Qt libraries?
What should I be specifically careful about in my pro files?

Any help would be terrific.

Seems you can not build Mac OS X app in Linux, for which need Xcode. Anybody know? But for some dependency reason, i think what's your want is not necessary.

Thanks Chuck. Can you explain me a little more? Actually I need this because my code need on the linux server of the team, so that each team worker can just come and grab the executable. Right now I am compiling on similar hosts and putting everything on the server. But as someone else will maintain, he needs to compile everything on the server.

You need build them separately on Windows, Linux and Mac. And upload them to your server.
