Sorry, one other point: yes, you are correct, working from a pre-built distribution is exactly the question I was asking, and if the only issue is syncing the IDE files with the development versions, that seems like a small issue: many of the files at https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/tree/develop/Toolset/libraries are months to years from their last update. Ditto for https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/tree/develop/Toolset/palettes/script%20editor/behaviors. That makes it seem as though it would absolutely be possible to work on the IDE in the current 9.x release, with the caveat that merge conflicts would be *slightly* more likely. Or am I missing something?
