Hello Ben, For libfreetype, I think you should do: sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev Also, yes, the "official" supported Ubuntu distros for LC are 14 and 16 LTS. However, LC standalones built from 9.6.6 should run on Ubuntu 18 and above as well. Tomorrow I'll try to set up an Ubuntu 18 VM

Hi Stephen, Built on Mac. I didn't zip it because I've got a folder shared with the Docker container, so I just dragged it in. But sensing something behind your question... I just zipped up the original build folder, dragged that in, and then in the shell unzipped it, invoked that binary...

I'm trying to develop an app which will run headless on Linux (actually in a docker container). I've done this before... so long ago that I can't remember... with an earlier version of this app. Normally I run this on Mac and Windows. So (under LiveCode 9.6.6) I simply checked the Linux 64
