I need to find feedback for my apps for those OS I dont have (OSX and Linux).
I was about tho ask here in the forums to try my compiled apps but I know it’s not good forum policy
Any hints where to go ?
thanks
Can you supply description of the applications ?
It’s tiny little app that has a textfield and if you click speak than it it uses text2speech to speak that text.
and you can also load a text file into the textfield
No big deal but I wanted to make sure they work perfectly also on Mac and Linux, especially Linux.
I have too low resources for using virtual pc
Send me a private message containing the link for me to download it from, and I will happily test it for you 
VirtualBox is free and available here.
Horacio,
I can type text ok - but NONE of the menu items work?? Did you create menu handlers for each of the items??
Sure. It works for Windows !
Is there something “extra” I need to do for osx and linux ?
Your MenuItem handlers should be coded so that they cater for all compiled OS’s.
What do you mean ?
If they work for Windows why arent working on other OS ??
Different ways of handling files / paths etc.
Only one of the menu items loads a file. Then it must be a serious BUG
Post the code you used to convert the text to speech here. That way, we can tell you if your code is correct or not.
Without seeing your code - we have no idea what is happening.
We are fantastic - but not telepathic
This is a link to the project:

Pls dont focus just on the “speak” thing, also on the other menuitems. Im afraid there’s a problem with the menuitems
there is a menuitem called CLEAR that clears the textfield, try to see it it works.
thanks for yr help

The speech functions are not compatible on a Mac though!
Hope that helps you.
I told you it was not a bug
I’ve seen you have changed the menus and you have created the sub-menus.
Not being familiar with OSX I would have NEVER thought that was the problem…Since in Windows using the head-menus work perfectly I thought it was the same also for OSX.
Thanks a lot for yr help ! Cheers
PS Do you know if it’s the same for Linux also ?
Never use Linux, sorry.
I would always use sub-menus. That way, your software is standardised between all platforms.
Simply use code such as that which I have provided below, in order to cater for different platforms:
#If TargetWin32
// ---------------------------------------- Insert Windows-specific code here
#ElseIf TargetMacOS
// ---------------------------------------- Insert OS X-specific code here
#ElseIf TargetLinux Then
// ---------------------------------------- Insert Linux-specific code here
#EndIf

Chances are Linux works just fine with Richard modifications.
Since you are using a PC, you should know that it is really easy to install Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 32 bits, and afterward simply choose when your PC starts if you want Windows or Linux. See http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
They have documentation in all languages at http://www.linuxmint.com/documentation.php
Linux Mint Cinnamon has an interface close to Windows, is compatible with Ubuntu (the most installed), and works beautifully with Xojo.
