bucksHello All
RE the offline support for Linux, the app is mainly Java, but the offline portion is written in non-open source c++.
On the window release we compile a dll which the Java opens a socket to. Situation is similar on the mac with a dylib.
For Linux because of all the different flavours, you would need the same gcc / glibc that we use to compile the so library.
This isn’t impossible, but its a lot of time for us to compile the offline library for every different flavour of Linux in use by iLive customers.
We could lets say just support the latest incarnation of a popular distro, say Ubuntu, but there would have to be sufficient interest, and be on the understanding that we’re not going to support all flavours.
Hope this helps.
