Re: New MC Standalone Builder?
I use Metacard as well and build standalones with it. The last set of standalones I built was with the MC Standalone Builder. I do NOT build standalones in Rev/Livecode and never have. They've always been created in MC.

No new release has been posted. I've had zero feedback on it thus far, and it works well enough for Ken and I to build with so I haven't spent much time on refining it. It seems the three of us may be the only ones who use it, but if others here still use MC it would be helpful to know so I can evaluate the return-on-investment for further enhancement.

New MC Standalone Builder?
I remember we had a beta version of a MC Standalone Builder in June 2011. Is there any new or final version and I did miss it? Best wishes for the New Year! Wilhelm Sanke ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

I think that's a great idea... I'll add that to the MC IDE. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

As you've seen from my posts to the use-livecode list, it's been a hectic period here overcoming challenges with CLUIs and other things, but I agree this is important so let's address it: Hello Richard, Is it still too early to ask or could you tell us when the new standalone builder could be released? We are thankful for your commitment to manage this task. I'll try to make some time to come into the office on Saturday to wrap that up and post it. It currently only handles Mac, Win, and Linux, so if you need RevWeb or anything else you're on your own for that (though contributions to enhancing the new SB are welcome- let's discuss strategies for implementation if you're interested). There's an annoyance in the current design in which it requires you to point to a folder containing your Runtime engines; it figures out where to find the appropriate engine from there, but does require that you have such a folder. One of the revisions I want to make Sat. is to remove the requirement to pull out your Runtime folder, and let you instead simply point to your LiveCode folder/.app. Even better would be to find it for you, but I don't believe the MC IDE currently provides a preference setting to store the path to your LC installation. @Ken: Could we provide such a preference? This could be very useful for all sorts of things, from managing externals to finding documentation elements and more, obviating the need to replicate any of those files. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: New MC-standalone builder
From the traffic on the livecode lists I see that Richard Gaskin, who apparently did not notice my post on the Metacard list, is back. Richard, could you shed some light on my question below?
