If I download CODE as a ZIP file from here: https://github.com/livecode/livecode

"9.7.0-dp-1"

is there a way to build this on a Macintosh?

and if so, how?

You should be able to if you have the right Xcode app installed, AND the correct older MacOS and iOS SDKs linked in XCode app, AND the library/dependencies where the build scripts expect to find them.
I had started to set up to do just that last November, which did successfully compile some parts (but not The Who shebang), and then I messed up my partition tables while installing Linux.

To build for Apple Silicon you will also need to be running at least Xcode version 12, AND have ARM64 code/binaries for any dependencies. https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... le-silicon

The syntax dictionary, however, can be built with the included builder stack, which mostly looks for .lcdoc markdown files in a 'docs' folder (it also looks for in the IDE or IDE support for the DataGrid docs). I'm thinking the dictionary building bits could maybe be moved to a separate git repo, along with Brian Milby's tool (permission granted) for editing this particular flavor of markdown.

Keep in mind that whatever that "9.7.0-dp-1" is, it looks like that was pushed last on July 26th of last year, so I'd expect any 'stable'/tested code changes from LC were likely included in 9.6.3 (released on July 29th). Although I know of several fix / pull requests from community were not used, but could be.
