I know that there are several open source programs that are developed
and then compiled specifically for the various platforms.
Is this possible for LiteStep?
If so, even those wistful Linux users might have reason to check out a
"LiteStep for Linux." It would seem that an open source shell would have
an advantage in this sort of portability: Use LiteStep/Linux at home and
LiteStep/Windows or LiteStep/Mac at work. Same theme, but with different
ways of addressing the compatibility problem.
Especially in that its purpose is as "a visual output" rather than input
to another program or incorporation into a common database, etc. Some
three or so programmers might be able to work up a "LinuxStep"
(LinuxLite?) utility which can handle any OTS2 theme.
Run it though "Windows prep" and it compiles into the LiteStep we
currently have and enjoy. Run it through "Mac/OS prep", however, and the
result will be a compiled version for Macs. "Linux prep" could do the
same for that platform.
No doubt a lot of work, but is it worth it?
Is it even do-able, program-wise?
It would seem that the Linux compile would be the easiest (assuming any
of these are possible) in that the OS is open source.
