     I have a MacBook (Intel)circa 2006 that originally had OS X 10.4 
installed. It has 2 GB RAM and is 32 bit. I have installed Ubuntu 12.04. 
Could this be used to compile a connector? If so, what has to be done to 
do so? I really have no knowledge of any of the computer languages, so I 
don't know if my offer to help will be useful.
