Re: Help with Linux app built with LC on Mac

[Martin Koob via use-livecode]

Hi Paul

I wonder if you would have a better experience using Docker 
https://www.docker.com/ to set up a container running Linux on your Mac to do 
your testing.

I am no expert on Docker and less so on Linux.  I have used Docker to run a web 
service locally on my Mac to test cmi5 packages for conformance to the 
standard. The web service is called CATAPULT.  A company called Rustici did all 
the work and created the image that builds the container and launches the 
webservice.  On my end I just had to download it, install it and do some 
configuration (This was the hardest part for me — it involved a few rounds of 
trial and error but that is more on me as I was hurrying and typing first and 
reading documentation later.)

Once it was installed I just had to issue a few terminal commands to build the 
container and then launch the CATAPULT web service  that is used to test cmi5 
documents for conformance to the cmi5 standard. Then I accessed the web service 
using my desktop browser to go to a localhost address.

So that is not exactly what you want to do but I think it can be done.

Here is a blog article on the subject of running Linux apps on a Mac using 
Docker.
https://blog.alexellis.io/linux-desktop-on-mac/

It was written in 2016 and was using El Capitan so will be out of date — for 
one thing it wouldn’t be taking into account Apple Silicon CPUs since the first 
Mac with the M1 was in 2013.  But there is a hub where you can find up to date 
prebuilt images that are shared with the Docker community  
https://hub.docker.com/ .  This includes a whole range of uses  including 
running Linux Distributions on your Mac (or Windows) machine.


I have not had a need to text an LiveCode app on Linux so I have not used one 
for this purpose but perhaps it may work better than Parallels.

Anyway just throwing that out there.  I don’t know if it would resolve the x86 
vs ARM issue but I see when narrowing down the search I was able to choose the 
OS and Architecture from the list of filters.  That would imply to me it is 
emulating the architecture but as I said I only use one ready made image so I 
don’t know the ins and outs of this.  I am curious though if that is the case.


FILTERS

Trusted content
✔︎  Docker Official Image
Verified Publisher
Sponsored OSS

Operating Systems
✔︎  Linux
Windows

Architectures
ARM
ARM 64
IBM POWER
PowerPC 64 LE
IBM Z
✔︎  x86
x86-64


In the results of that search there were Linux distributions, for example 
Debian and Ubuntu.

Ubuntu

Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

Very nice piece of work. Like the datagrid, it shows what can be done with 
native LC controls and good ingenuity.
