64-bit App Store requirement

How to install under Elementary of Mint Linux
Sorry for the likely dumb question: How do you install Livecode under 64-bit Linux? Specifically, I'm trying the latest versions of Elementary and Mint, which are Ubuntu derived. The Livecode download (Commercial or Community) are .x86 files. Changing the properties to allow execution doesn't help, and that's about all I've been able to find online. Running: ./LivecodeCommunityInstaller-6_5_0-Linux.86 (also tried: sudo ./LivecodeCommunityInstaller-6_5_0-Linux.86) ...seems to produce a file called: LivecodeCommunityInstaller-6_5_0-Linux.86~ ...which I can't seem to do anything with. I'm unsure if these OSes can't run 32-bit code, or if it's me. I've exhausted my Google-fu. Help!

Re: How to install under Elementary of Mint Linux
Many thanks, Mark. That worked! So for anyone else trying to install LC on 64-bit Linux that's: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs chmod u+x LC_download_filename.x86 (gksu seems to be included by default in Elementary Linux and Mint Linux) -John On Feb 14, 2014, at 1:18 PM, Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net wrote: John Brozycki livecode@... writes: Sorry for the likely dumb question: How do you install Livecode under 64-bit Linux? Runrev hasn't yet seen fit to release a 64-bit binary, so your best option is to install the ia32lib libraries from the usual repos. You still have to set the executable bit on the downloaded binary, and if you don't have gksu installed and you want to install for all users you'll have to su and run the installer from a commandline. -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Upgrade to Mountain Lion and LiveCode 5.5.1 Problem
Roger, Just to confirm, I've upgraded to Mountain Lion on a lat 2008 15 MBP, have LiveCode 5.5.1 running, and Xcode 4.4 (4F250) and my iOS simulator is running OK. As your iOS simulator hangs by itself, it doesn't seem that the problem is Live Code related. If you have a spare USB drive, you might want to install Mountain Lion, LC, and Xcode on it, boot from it, and see if the problem persists. If not, then it's a call to Apple or a fresh install. BTW- I did have to re-point Live Code preferences to find where Xcode was located.

Actually, I've tried going back to LiveCode 5.5.0 which did work under Lion, and it now fails as well! So I think my problem has nothing to do with LiveCode.

Re: Lion [and the Mac app store]
On the topic of Lion: Has anyone recently gotten a Mac OS X app through the Mac App store successfully? I remember a threat a while back asking about adding Lion's native full screen support into LiveCode, and I'd read that Apple was/is rejecting apps that don't support full screen. I've never submitted anything to the Mac App store but am considering something for the future. It would be nice to know if that route isn't a possibility until fullscreen is support before meeting with rejection. Will full screen be coming to LC5.5? Any insights greatly appreciated. John On Feb 15, 2012, at 3:14 AM, Paul Hibbert wrote: Hi Joe, Two more issues I've come up against since upgrading to Lion: If you use 'import snapshot' without any parameters the resulting snapshot is just total garbage, this command was a problem under Snow Leopard, Vista and MX although not quite as bad. RR have known about it for several years, but have not fixed it so far, so I'm not anticipating fix real soon. Another command that returns total garbage under Lion is 'mouseColor' and even worse, if the 'mouseColor' command is active and you move the cursor to the top of the screen, LC or a standalone will crash. Both of these issues have been reported, (#6430 #9980) and they both affect apps that I'm building so it meant some major rethinking on my part. The first one was no big deal, it actually forced me to improve the app, but the second issue is a problem, I've had to disable a feature for Lion users, that's not good. Apart from that, I felt it was important to know what my apps were like on Apple's latest system, it's been out for a while now so there's a good chance your app may end up running on it somewhere.

Re: uuencoded
Warren, Although UUENCODE and BASE64 are not the same, there is some similarity and newer versions of UUENCODE have the ability to output to BASE64. If you have any control of the image production process, you might be able to output them in BASE64, then you can use the base64Decode command in LiveCode. If not: I've never tried decoding a uuencoded file with base64Decode, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. (I don't think base64Decode will decode uuencoded files, but it's possible that the uuencoded files could actually be BASE64.) If this fails, you could shell an external command. For example, in Mac OS X there are built in commands uuencode and uudecode. Good luck, John On Nov 25, 2011, at 10:41 AM, Warren Kuhl wrote: I have files (jpg/gif) that are uuencoded.

Re: text color
Mike, Thanks! You got me started with your first reply. I saw that it was grabbing the first characters of the word, even if not what you wanted. For example, if word was timebandit, but you wanted bandit, it selected timeba. Also, I messed up incrementing my offset, so it only got the first match correctly.

Re: text color part 2
Mark, Thanks for the suggestion. I've typically done just that to color text. The problem is, in this case, the field contains plaintext that is actual html, and I need to be able to view it without it disappearing and modifying other text. For example, a search could be done on, say, font and I want it to find all of this occurrences and color them to make them stand out. Mike's suggestion got me to an answer, and we both posted working solutions. Just want to say how thankful I am for this list and everyone who has helped me either directly by replying to a question I asked, or indirectly by helping someone else and I've benefited from the answer.

For anyone interested in VMware Fusion for Mac or VMware Workstation for Windows, VMware is going to offer 30% off next Monday ($34.99 USD for Fusion): http://stepcoupons.com/vmware-cyber-monday-sale/ It also appears that with the latest update VMware has removed the check in Fusion to see if pre-Lion OS X versions are server versions, meaning you should be able to install Leopard and Snow Leopard under VMware Fusion. Haven't tried this yet and not sure that Apple is going to like it, but it would be great for testing against older versions of OS X on one machine without having to boot off an alternate boot device. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/11/vmware-fusion-users-can-now-install-leopard-snow-leopard-in-vms.ars Cheers, John ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

If e.g. you calculate the new points based on the current points relative to the card rect, your objects will slowly change location: // wrong on resizeStack theOldW,theOldH,theNewW,theNewH put the loc of fld 1 into myLoc put item 1 of fld myLoc / theOldW into myRatio put myRatio * theNewW comma item 2 of myLoc into myNewLoc set the loc of fld 1 to myNewLoc end resizeStack The script above will eventually round off the loc of the object and the location may be off by one pixel. Instead, try to find a way to set the location directly: // correct on resizeStack set the loc of fld 1 to item 1 of the loc of this cd comma item 2 of the loc of fld 1 end resizeStack The second (quite obvious) approach will never cause rounding problems. Btw, the second and third script change the location of a field horizontally, relative to the right side of a card, keeping the field horizontally centered. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/16r Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!

It doesn't do this automatically- you have to resize the second card. Make the second card much larger than the first was, and when you go back the objects on the first card are all off. With each card, you have to manually resize for the objects to adjust properly. Shouldn't this happen automatically when you configure the geometry settings?
