Re: Compiling Livecode

[JJS via use-livecode]

you could use vmware to run other OS's

But you could also do a triple boot.

It's easier to create a multi boot on a Mac(hardware) than creating a 
multiboot with hackintosh on a (win)PC


because Windows and Linux run almost everywhere and apple provides 
drivers via Bootcamp


Running MacOs on pc is more difficult as not all videocards/other 
hardware is supported


for the first check out refind http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/     and 
for hackintosh check out https://tonymacx86.com


If you only want a dualboot Mac and Windows then Bootcamp is sufficient


on my previous job i had a Macbook with Macos and win8.1 and win10

now at home i have a PC with Win10/MacOS Mojave Hackintosh/Ubuntu Mate


It taks patience to get it done

So i would go for the Mac

Re: Attaching Engine - running forever

[JJS via use-livecode]

Hi Tiemo,


maybe you need to add the piece of code which is mentioned in the 
release notes.


You can add that piece at the top in your closestack handler.

Try it if it helps.

Jerry

Hello,

building only a windows standalone on Win10 with LC 9.0.1/9.0.2 the
standalone builder runs forever at "Attaching engine".

This happens only with one of my stacks. With LC 8.1.10 the standalone
builder runs fine with the same stack.

1.   Is there anything I can check for?

2.   The build of the exe seems to be fine (it runs). Is there anything,
what is to be build after the externals folder, resources folder and the
exe, or do you think I can just kill LC in this endless loop of "Attaching
engine" and my standalone will be fine anyway?

  


Thanks

Re: Compiling Livecode

The target platform link provides more details.  Trevor put some help up for 
getting Windows versions to compile.  I’ve compiled Mac and Linux.  What 
OS/Version will you be using?

Thanks,
Brian

RtfText is, without a large JavaScript library, unusable as input for a browser
widget (or a browser). The htmltext retains, alike rtfText, styled formatting.

A simple field  with tabstops as input is OK.

Compiling Livecode

Attaching Engine - running forever

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

Hello,

building only a windows standalone on Win10 with LC 9.0.1/9.0.2 the
standalone builder runs forever at "Attaching engine".

This happens only with one of my stacks. With LC 8.1.10 the standalone
builder runs fine with the same stack.

1.   Is there anything I can check for?

2.   The build of the exe seems to be fine (it runs). Is there anything,
what is to be build after the externals folder, resources folder and the
exe, or do you think I can just kill LC in this endless loop of "Attaching
engine" and my standalone will be fine anyway?

 

Thanks

Tiemo
