If Monks in the Lions Den - help needed

Post by BrianThomas » Wed Nov 02, 2011 3:36 am

Hi, I'm Brian Thomas, the author of If Monks had Macs. I expect that everyone who helped build the Revolution cross-platform version of Monks here building many new and wonderful things -- including apps! Greetings, to all!

I may join you when I'm ready to build my first app for my photography. However, now I'm here to ask if it would be easy for someone to take the final Rev files which work quite well in Snow Leopard and make a new build with them with an Intel-compatible engine. For, apparently, Mac OS Lion will no longer run PowerPC programs.

It is as curious to me as it is to you that there folks out there that have been running the If Monks had Macs multimedia program for 20 years and don't want to stop now. They have written to me from the midwest and from Afghanistan (an American stationed there) and so I've promised to look into this.

Can it be easily done?

If so, any volunteers?

Thanks very much for reading this, and for keeping the faith.

Brian


(well, it seems I can't post any links here, but I will follow this thread and the Monks domain where there are email links is rivertext[dot]com)

Hi Brian,

here the clickable link to your site:

I think you can "compile" for INTEL on a PPC Mac, but of course not run the app.
Did you try this?


Best

Klaus

Thanks,

I have an intel Mac -- I don't have Live Code.

It might be however that I'm entitled to an upgrade to a Runtime Revolution version that is PowerPC compatible. I will check on that.

Hi Brian,

Can't you ask the person who helped you porting IMHM from HyperCard to Revolution to do this for you? If not, feel free to contact me directly (see signature).

Kind regards,

Mark
