Help with Linux app built with LC on Mac

Hi everyone,

I’ve been a long-time list member, but never really felt the need to ask for advice until now. I’ve just built a small app using LC 9.6.13 and built standalones for Mac, Windows, and Linux, which I may look at distributing once all testing is done.

I’m using a MacBook Pro M2 for development, and I have Parallels for testing. The Mac and Windows versions appear to be working fine, but when I try to launch the Linux standalone in Ubuntu via Parallels, it won’t even launch. When I double-click the app icon, there is no response. The same is true if I right-click and choose “Run”. I checked the app and folder permissions, and they appear to be OK. The app is on the Linux partition, and I have tried both the standard and x64 versions.

I’ve never used Linux before, apart from on RPi, so I’m not sure if there is something that I am missing or doing wrong. Any ideas or advice would be gratefully received.

Thank you, and wishing you all a wonderful New Year.

Paul
