64-bit Unix Systems?

Is it possible to compile for them? 64-bit Unix systems can't run the 32-bit applications I compile for unix, so is there any other option?
Thanks.

Re: Launch exe with parameter

I'm not quite sure, I presume its the default windows parameter for passing a file to open to an application. However, I don't know what that is... Let me make it clear that nothing is actually typed in the console, it simply displays the output of the conversion. It is used by dragging a file onto ...

Re: Launch exe with parameter

Well, it is a file converter, so you drag the file onto the executable. However, a lot of people don't know how to do that, so I figured I would create a GUI. Would the shell() command achieve this?

Launch exe with parameter

I am attempting to make a GUI for a simple console application, which only requires one parameter.
How would I:
A) Launch the executable with a parameter
B) (if possible) put the output of said console application into a field, instead of a cmd window?

Full stack width menu

I've noticed that on windows, the menu bar at the top of a stack doesn't go the full length of the stack. I know it is possible to do this because it is used on the script editor. I looked at the source of the script editor and I couldn't find anything... Also, I've gotten a solution before, but it ...

Re: Color

I'm having some trouble using the textcolor property. How would I, say, set the selected text of a field to the color red? It seems that every time I use your code exactly it works fine, but when I try it breaks :? set the textcolor of the selectedText to red I've tried selectedChunk as well. What a...

Re: LiveCode for new developers

I absolutely love Rev. I would say that the only drawback is the filesize; its not like, say, Java, where you would import the specific things you need. Because it can import rev files on the go, it needs the entire engine packed in, no matter what you are doing with it. And either way, you can use ...

Color

How would I go about changing the color of particular text in a field? (not all of it)

I looked through the dictionary and it all seemed to reference objects, not chunks.
Thanks.

Re: Constantly read from socket

Well, using your example I made another test stack that simply put something into a text field after your function had been called. I attempted to start it with a button that both read from a socket, and called the function directly. However, it had no results. :(
