Web apps consist of two parts: user interface displayed in the web browser and the app itself.
Web Browser
Your users can use a web app in one of the following browsers for these platforms:
Windows | OS X / OS X Server | Linux | iOS | Android | Raspberry Pi | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Because various Linux distributions have different libraries installed by default, you may need to install additional libraries installed before your Xojo apps will run on Linux. At a minimum, Xojo requires these Linux libraries:
Always Required | Required for Desktop | Optional |
---|---|---|
glib 2.0 | GTK+ 2.20 |
libwebkitgtk-1.0.0 or libgtkhtml (HTMLViewer) Ubuntu install command: sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0.0
|
glibc-2.11 (32-bit) glibc-2.14 (64-bit) |
libsoup 2.4 (Xojo.Net.HTTPSocket) | |
libstdc++.so.6.0.13 | ||
libicu 4.2+ |
|

For best results, create 64-bit Xojo apps for distribution on 64-bit Linux systems. If you have to distribute a 32-bit Xojo app on a Linux distribution, you need to ensure that the 32-bit libraries are installed. They are not installed by default, so you'll have to install them manually. Below are some command that might be helpful.
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint | CentOS/Fedora/OpenSUSE |
---|---|
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch |
sudo yum install ia32-libs
sudo yum install ia32-libs-multiarch |
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update |
sudo yum install glib2.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686
|
sudo apt-get install libicu52:i386
sudo apt-get install libicu52 sudo apt-get install libicu48:i386
|
sudo yum provides missinglibrarypathorname
sudo yum install packagenamewithlibrary
|
Ubuntu 14+: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update |
/usr/bin/yum -y install glib2.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686
|
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386
|
yum install libicu.i686
|
If you are still having trouble identifying necessary libraries, the ldd command might help. You can run from Terminal in the Xojo directory to return a list of libraries required by Xojo and their status on the system:
<a id="International Components for Unicode" name="International Components for Unicode">International Components for Unicode</a> (libicu)
Most recent Linux distributions have <a href="http://site.icu-project.org" target="_blank">libicu</a> installed, but depending on the Linux distribution you may need to install it yourself. These command may be helpful:
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint | CentOS/Fedora/OpenSUSE |
---|---|
sudo apt-get install libicu52
|
yum install libicu
|
Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit is unable to have both 32-bit and 64-bit libicu installed. If you require this, use 12.10 or later or create a 64-bit build. |
