<div dir="ltr">Okay, well, setting noob aside. What would it take to get Lightwave for Windows code running stably on Linux? I understand that this isn't going to happen anytime soon. But if you say, "you need to know C programming, and such and such," then I can start studying what I need, and I have a goal in mind. (A goal I've had to some years and now have some direction on how to achieve it.) To be able to run all my apps on a Linux 64bit system, and not have to deal with Windows at all anymore would be a dream! Die, evil bastard OS monster! Die!<br>
<br>*Sniff* Haven't you ever had a dream? A dream so big you just couldn't contain it? Well, you must believe, my son! You must believe!<br>/cheesy-whatever the hell that was ; )<br><br>C'mon! Throw me a bone!<br>

</div>If you are a n00b, then rebuilding from source should not concern you.<br>
It's right up there with rebuilding the engine and transmission of a<br>
car.<br>
<br>
"Closed source" means exactly that, that you don't have access to the<br>
source, outside of the owners of the software.<br>
<br>
And lastly, there does not appear to be a version of Lightwave for<br>
Linux. Getting the Windows/MacOS code to run on Linux is equivalent<br>
to moving the transmission and engine between two different kind of<br>
vehicles. To stop milking of the car analogy, you can think of<br>
submarines and fighter jets.<br>
