Linux Deployment Pack & Platform Specific features
Use the Linux deployment pack for LiveCode to create native executable applications for Linux. Executables get created as standard Linux. Executables for Linux can be created when running LiveCode on Linux, Mac OS X or Windows.
Platform Specific Feature Set
In addition to the main cross platform feature set, Linux has the following platform specific features:
|
Native theme support |
Buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, default buttons, tabbed control, scrollbars, field borders, menus, sliders, progress bars, data grid headers, group borders take on Linux look automatically on Linux platform. |
In addition to the features listed above, many of the cross platform features in the product map seamlessly to behave correctly on Linux. For example it is possible to access Linux native printer dialogs or file system dialogs using the same LiveCode language syntax as on other platforms.
Applications created for Linux will generally look like native applications and behave as first class Linux citizens. However our support for native theme support is not perfect and in some cases you may need to emulate some of the Linux specific UI elements. This is particularly true of objects that have no implementation on the other platforms we support. We are working to bring additional objects to the platform in the future. LiveCode interface objects are fully customizable, so it is possible to emulate just about any type of interface object or to create entirely new UI experiences or custom skins on any platform.
