Re: installing and running LC on 'headless' linux server

Thanks Mark (and Matthias). That's very useful info which I'll stash for another time. In this case I really don't want to use the LC code over HTTP. It is purely a utility to run locally on this machine at scheduled intervals, in support of some other processes. For several reasons it

Re: installing and running LC on 'headless' linux server

Mark, Thanks! Here’s the script I created based upon your example. This is a stack with one card and on the card is a field “counter”. I put “0” into the field to seed it. When the stack file is opened, it launches LiveCode and does the preOpenStack and the send in seconds causes the stack to

Re: Using MySQL on (headless) Linux

Update. I have managed to get access to the Rev database external by explicitly setting the `externals` property of the stack before saving it (on Mac) to the full path on the linux machine to `revdb.so`. Consequently the functions such as `revOpenDatabases` and `revOpenDatabase` no longer

Re: Using MySQL on (headless) Linux

Ben, I have seen the “invalid database type” error on Linux because of a case error. Make sure you use “mysql” as the database type, not “MySQL” or anything else with upper case letters. LiveCode is not case-sensitive, but Linux is. Hope this helps. Devin > On Feb 1, 2021, at 2:32 PM, Ben

Smooth scrolling

My impression is that a LiveCode field scrolls less smoothly than a comparable field in some other programs, such as MS Word and Scrivener. If I paste about 25,000 words into a word wrapped scrolling field, and then drag the scrolling thumb up and down there is much more jumpiness than I see
