What would be involved in cross-compiling CTranslate? I’m running on a Ubuntu machine, and the binary that I compiled doesn’t work on Mac or Windows. If cross-compiling would be a lot of work, then it would be easier for me to have the build process pushed to our build server; so I’m just trying to get an idea for how involved it would be.
I think you need to use specific compilers, for example mingw32 for Windows. I’m not sure about Mac OS.

On Windows, you may try to compile using Cygwin. It’s the best way to get a Linux code source to compile on Windows. You then will have it running natively putting the Cygwin DLL with the obtained EXE.

If you have Windows 10, you can use Microsoft’s official Ubuntu bash for Windows as well. I haven’t tried CTranslate there, but I do use it if I have to work on a Windows machine rather than using Cygwin, DOS, or Powershell.
