Nyquist Language and LCB

[trags3]

Hi, I have never looked into LiveCode Builder before but have found a need for it. Has anyone built plugins for the Nyquist language, or is that even possible?
Nyquist is the language used for the Audacity App that runs on Windows, Mac, and mobile (at least iOS). Audacity is a very versatile music editing software program. I have a real need to learn Nyquist and hopefully incorporate some functions into LiveCode.
Information re: Audacity and Nyquist can be found on the AudacityTeam.org website.
thank you,
Tom

Hi trags3,

LiveCode Builder (LCB) allows you to bring libraries written in C, Objective-C, and Java into LiveCode. Unless Nyquist outputs DLLs for Windows and a library for macOS/Linux that follows the C calling convention then I don't think you will be able to use LCB with it.

Thank You Trevor.
I'll look into it!

I just looked into it (and replied to your private msg). It doesn't appear to be available in the form of a code library. It has it's own IDE. It's a language derived from LISP. It looks like you could use it's runtime from the command line, so you should be able to do that from LiveCode's

Code: Select all

shell() 

function or maybe

Code: Select all

open proccess

and

Code: Select all

write to process

commands.
