Hello,

I did this a few years back:

>
> For complete portability I started here: The Processing 3.3.7 that I compiled worked! This is not for the faint of heart! This is for the adventurous! I have not done this in years so you are on your own if you chose to take this path. slight_smile

I had to modify the source code and compile a new portable version.
