32-bit Linux OXT Lite

[richmond62]

So: installed 64-bit OXT Lite on Dad's old 32-bit laptop (Debian 12, XFCE, 32-bit) and deleted the opentalk.x86-64 file, and replaced it with the equivalent file from LC 963, renaming it opentalk.x86-64 : and the thing runs!

So: absolutely no need to work on a 32-bit Linux build!

The only obvious snags are these:

1. The MessageBox does not receive focus (nor it does with LC 963).

2. These 2 buttons are invisible on the Tools palette (nor they do with LC 963):

I had to fart around with root user and the terminal to get the LC 963 'thing' from:

/home/richmond/.runrev/components/livecodecommunity-9.6.3.x86 to

/opt/openxtalk/openxtalk_x86_64

It would be a good thing if, like the LC installer, a "You Only" option were available.

For those who are 'into' some kind of XFCE Linux the trick is to open /opt/openxtalk/openxtalk_x86_64 using thunar like this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo thunar /opt/openxtalk/openxtalk_x86_64

That's fine, but is quite bad practice to have each program installed as multiple instances on a per-user basis. On a multi-user setup, you'll suddenly find all your hard disk space is gone because each user will have their own install. At approx 1.3GB each, it won't take long before a computer with a small hard drive is full up.
Better to store the program in /opt/ and have all the configurations specific to each user.

Anyway, feel free to have a go with this:
