Since LBB works by translating the Liberty BASIC program to BBC BASIC, it may be of interest that both Android and iOS editions of BBC BASIC are now available. The recent release of the iOS edition completes the 'set' of supported Operating Systems: Windows, Linux (x86), Mac OS-X, Raspberry Pi (Raspbian), Android and iOS.

As noted previously, converting GUI-based Liberty BASIC programs to run on an OS other than Windows is problematical (at least, if a reasonable degree of compatibility is to be achieved) because LB/LBB simply provide a 'thin wrapper' around native Windows GUI features.

But non-GUI ('mainwin') LB programs should be relatively easily ported to any of the Operating Systems supported by BBC BASIC, so long as they don't use CALLDLL to access Windows APIs/DLLs which have no direct equivalent in the other OSes.
