Frankly my morals are a bit "flexible" in the area of Hackintoshes, but
my laziness tells me that
I'd be far better to get my Linux box sorted out . . . as:
1. Although Macintoshes are "jolly pretty" and easy to use, I have, to
be honest,
got past the stage of playing with plastic ducks in the bathtub, and the
rigidity of the
Macintosh family of operating systems does get on my nerves.
2. For about $100 I can get a Linux system that "beats the cr*p" out of
a Macintosh.
3. After the Hackintosh suggestion I spent 15 minutes looking at how to
set up a Mac system on non-Mac
hardware and I really wondered what would happen pumping diesel into my
two-stroke moped.
4. The ONLY reason I reverted to Macintosh (1993-2005 Macs, 2005-2016
Linux, 2016-2018 Macs)
was that I was able to lay my sweaty paws on some rather groovy
Polycarbonate 2006 iMacs.
These iMacs are super as far as they go. But with LiveCode 9 they don't go.
----------
There was a time when standalones for Macintosh pumped out of LiveCode
running on Linux would
not behave themselves on Macintosh: it would help me greatly if someone
could let me know if
that is still the case.

Ah... I feel your pain... Of course, a little bird has told me that the
"HackIntosh" approach is WAY cheaper than original Apple hardware and
"rumor" has it that such implementations run up to High Sierra perfectly on
ridiculously inexpensive platforms. Naturally, these are all just vicious
rumors meant to undermine Apple's sterling and well defended market share
... justifying costs beyond those of normal human budgets... so you never
heard it from me! Apple rules!

"elucidation" might be too posh a word for a few simple facts:
1. I use LiveCode, mainly, on a Macintosh computer that cannot be
upgraded above 10.7.5
2. I have no money to buy a newer machine.

Sorry if I missed something.. but, Richmond (or anyone, for that
matter), could you elucidate on the
specifics of which systems confine you to LC v8? Or at least which
systems YOU employ which are not
compatible with LC v9...
If there are such systems or a list of known incompatibilities
regarding LC v9, other than those
listed in the release notes, I (and I suspect the community) would
appreciate knowing about them and
have them encapsulated in one place.
Are they OS issues or specific application restrictions? ... or
reported bugs?

It would be LOVELY if there were to be a version 8.1.11 just to fix
this problem for those of us confined to systems that cannot work
with LC 9.
