To build the finished product:
1. Create or find an empty directory on your workstation.
2. In the Organizer window, pick the application that you want to package into the finished product.
3. From the Applications, menu, select Make Executable.
4. In the Make Executable window that opens:
a. Select the main visual part for your application.
b. Ensure that the application has all needed prerequisites and doesn't name edit-time applications such as AbtBuildViewsApp. The API file that comes with VA Smalltalk names the applications that you can include with your packaged application.
c. Select OK to start the packaging.
5. Copy the output generated and other needed files to the empty directory.
6. Run the runtime image and test it.
To distribute your software, you send users the packaged runtime image and the other files in the directory. And you send them any DLLs, MRIs, or other files needed for distribution.
