Thank you very much Richard! I will check if what you say works well and
I will let you know.
Best,
Hery

Hello Heriberto -
I haven't run the old LC/ARM-Linux build in so long I have no idea how
well it works anymore. It was created as a weekend side project of an
LC staff member who's long since moved on. Back in the open source
days I tried to find someone to maintain it, but I was unable to
locate anyone who'd made a successful compile, let alone be able to
maintain it with future OS changes.
But if your current LC/ARM build runs on whatever RPi you're using,
there was never a Server build but LC has always had the ability to
use standalones as command-line apps, going al the way back to
beginning in 1992. This is how we were using MetaCard/LC as our server
CGI engine for all the years before the team made the PHP-style LC
Server edition.
To run an LC standalone from the command line, add a "-ui" flag, e.g.:
/home/UserName/AppName -ui
The -ui flag prompts the engine to launch in a way that bypasses GUI
initialization. This may be essential on many RPi units, since LC's
GUI implementation there is old and no longer in sync with the OS, so
crashes are increasingly common when attempting to run with a UI.
But since command-line is all you need you should (hopefully) be fine,
and you'll find the engine runs _very_ fast with no GUI.
Bonus: Back when Dr Peter Brett was with LC he made a nifty library
for parsing command-line arguments. To learn more on that see the
GetOpt function in the LC Dictionary.
