Yes ... For now ...

Although can be tuned ... See below.

Exactly ....

Short explain:

1) How works LiveCode and its externals last years...

We create with the help of V4REV_Install script
Special folder in the

  HOME/Documents/My LiveCode/Externals

And put here drivers for HOST-OS.


But Livecode can use yet (not sure in name)

  HOME/Documents/My LiveCode/Deployment/External

And here can be places externals for other OS.

I think this should be described in public docs of LiveCode.


So it should be possible create such folder and copy here externals from
Windows and Linux ...

All this by docs of LiveCode..



2) I think, that now we can try improve our archives of V4REV
To provide this folder from the box!!

Because now we have made virtual machines for each OS,
which can do cooperation.

I put this on TODO list.



3) please note, that after point1), you will be able compile on MAC, e.g.
WIN build ... 

You still will need copy inside DLLs from vcomponents folder as described in
Valentina WIKI on page
      V4RB / Manual / Deployment / Windows
