Cross Platform

These are αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε programs, that identify and adapt themselves to the platform the first time they run. Note that after this, they don't run on the other platforms anymore, so to run them on another platform you have to copy or download them again.

• Meta Remote Compiler
  • run.com 0.9 Compiler/launcher
  • run.meta Program source code
  This is a command-line program that takes a Meta program text, produces a binary αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε program, and then runs it.
• Meta Remote Cross-Compiler for Atari 8-Bit (400/800/XL/XE)
  • compile.com 0.6 Cross compiler
  • compile.meta Program source code
  This is a command-line program that takes a Meta program text and produces a binary Atari 8-bit program.

These early versions of Meta need the curl program to be installed on your system. Please make sure it is available to Meta.

The above APE programs are compiled for 64-bit AMD (K8 Venus+, 2005) / Intel (Core+, 2006) processors. If you have a different system, you can still run the programs from the command line as normal if you have QEmu user-mode emulation of AMD/Intel 64-bit installed. This is at least available on Linux and perhaps the BSD systems, where it can likely be installed from your system's software manager.

If you have a different system, but QEmu user-mode emulation is not available for it, you can run Meta programs with the Blink virtual machine.
