Making executable files
In the
Make Executable window, specify the following to package your application into an executable file:
1. In the Windows to show at startup field, select the part that has the window you want opened when the packaged application starts.
If the window you want to open is a visual part that you created in the Composition Editor, select the part. If the window you want to open is a nonvisual part or a Smalltalk class which has a runtimeStartUp method that can open the window, select <None>. Refer to Smalltalk User Guide for information on implementing runtimeStartUp.
2. If your application uses prerequisites other than those shown in the Prerequisite applications field, select Change and change the prerequisites in the displayed window. Ensure that the prerequisites are redistributable. (See the online .API file.)
3. Select OK.
4. In the displayed file prompter, name the output file and specify the directory to which VA Smalltalk should write the file; then select OK.
VA Smalltalk writes the output file to the directory. For information on completing the packaging and running an executable file, refer to the Visual Programming User Guide and to the Smalltalk User Guide.
