Compiling Livecode

[Erik Beugelaar]

For multi-platform development I prefer a MacBook Pro (16GB+ and 500+ SSD) with Parallels Desktop installed for testing/developing on both Linux and Windows.

Just my 2 cents.

    I'm considering buying a new laptop set up for development of this sort.
    Will probably get another OSX laptop - but may consider getting a Linux
    beast if the development environment works well? I wonder what the best
    set-up is for developing for Livecode - including fancy low level stuff?
