Is it possible to compile the LiveCode IDE on Mac OS 10.12.6?
I tried to follow the instructions on GitHub. I have the Xcode versions
downloaded. I had to use sudo to get the setup_xcode_sdks.sh to finish.
First pass was missing Java, so went back and installed that. Was able to
configure, but build complains about a missing SDK. Finally got it to a
point where I saw an error message that the earliest SDK that could be
built against is 10.11 so I tried to edit some files and try again. It got
further, but failed somewhere in the Skia library.
This was all from the develop branch. Tried 8.1.6-rc-3 tag and that was
worse. Also tried 9.0.0-dp-8 with nothing better.
(My goal is to get a build to work so I can try to figure out the missing
AppleScript dictionary... I'm part way there, but not sure if another file
needs to be updated.)
Thanks,
Brian
