Or did they buy a Jobs, and get a free OS. I’ve never quite been clear . .

Richard, Brian thank you very much,
I read about this Livecode execution method a time ago and found it amazing.
Livecode is an amazing product!
So, these are my thoughts:
1) It seems we can run a Livecode headless binary on BSD using the Linux
compatibility layer. Is that so?
2) How difficul
Not very sure, but months ago I read this (but he seems to talk about
BSD user utils more than the Kernel).

Yes, Apple’s macOS can be considered to be a BSD UNIX.
1) Apple’s macOS is an officially certified UNIX, that takes care of
Hi Richard,
Although I love UNIX, I think this is a much better point.
Looking at the feedback comments I have realized that porting Livecode
to BSD may not be worth it.
However, I think it is critical for our community to be able to run
Livecode scripting on IOT devices.

Are we sure about this?? I thought Apple had moved completely away from BSD a
long while back.

Subject: Re: Livecode server UNIX version (not Linux).
What is the workaround that you ended up using? I looked at the code once but
it quickly went over my head. I couldn’t see where the fonts were pulled in,
at least not where it could be cleanly intercepted.

Hey Friends,
I'm enjoying this thread a lot. I'll not be the person to tell someone not
to port LC to some new ISA or OS, I think it would be great if LC would run
in BSD. Personally, I don't have the time or even the skillset to help
this, but I'd love to benefit from it. Incidentally this is the

That struck me as odd, so I took a moment to see how they derived that

It’s a great idea. How do you propose it be handled? Assuming this is a build
based on the current system it will likely have to be compiled in Linux as the
obvious choice. Do we have anyone with the appropriate skills in coding C to
look into the various server platforms to be compiled for? Som
Thanks Andre,
I realized that BSD kernels are not the same as MacOS kernels.
As you say: MacOS has a hybrid kernel based on XNU and some parts of BSD.
I'm only interested in running the Livecode server version and not the IDE.
So, I think that compiling could be the best solution.
I have been c

Hi Richmond,
I think it's because since the early 2000's, Linux is the UNIX-like
standard platform in the world, and maybe Runrev realized that it is not
worth it to put more effort into other UNIX platforms rather than Linux
It is a pity because now, Linux runs on 90% of the internet servers
Barnand, Thanks for your kindly response
"What amazes me nowadays is just how much more complex things
are than they were 20 years ago"
Yes,that's the main problem today.
Regardless of the programming language, nowadays we have to deal with desktops,
mobiles, servers, etc. and that is crazy.
Which is why my sentence finishes with "... to be in a situation to take on
this level of complexity." :-)

Hi Heriberto
Back in the day (20 years ago) the engine/IDE ran on FreeBSD and various
proprietary unixes.
The Linux server version has been seen to work on FreeBSD back in 2011
(after installing Linux compatibility layer).
