Started actually working on the script management software today. I was trying to run the compiler in Linu Mint, since they have neglected to keep it functional with my chosen distribution (PCLinuxOS), but to do so I need to run Mint in a VirtualBox instance.
Took me a while to get everything set up and then I discovered that the shared folders feature was wonky. I had it working, then it was Root only, then it was claiming to mount and showing nothing, then it was mounting in the wrong location, ugh. I did everything possible to get it working, but in the end, no dice.
So reluctantly, I fired up my Windows 10 VM and it works perfectly there. So the compiler is installed in Windows, because Mint 20 is screwy and Xojo isn't keeping up with but a few distros, none of which I have built my business, software and workflow around because they all had critical flaws.
But I got Xojo 2020r1 installed and running, and now I am in the process of slowly but surely building the script manager and teaching myself how to program in this new language. I had forgotten how much fun this is.
At least I can get the job done.
