Build standalone from another app

[barend.scholtus]

I am working on a deployment/continuous integration tool and run against a problem building a Standalone. The entire process to Download from RCS / Save as Standalone Application / Encrypt / Add resources / Deploy needs to be automated. I can actually get it done using BAT files (!) except the Save as Standalone Application step.

The IDE has two functions ie "Standalone Application Settings" and "Save as Standalone Application". What I really want is use these two functions as part of my own app, or be able to run them from the command-line.

I guess my questions are:
- what exactly happens when you save a project as a Standalone?
- how can I include the functionality in my own app and invoke it so I can build a Standalone without the IDE? (it's okay to have the IDE installed/licensed, as long as I can save as standalone without having to start and operate the IDE.)

In terms of coding, I don't have anything yet. All I did was explore the Livecode I could find on my harddisk and see where the required functions are. Unfortunately, it isn't so easy to find it!

Thanks big time for any hints.

Btw I use LC 4.6.4 Commercial edn.

Greetings from France,

Is there a typo with your Livecode version? (looks like a bit old)

Some good news, I'm doing this from Xcode;
see this post: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.ph ... 89#p127952

It's a bit of work to implement it,
but the rewards are countless

If your LiveCode version is a bit more 'modern', then
you can freely contact me off-list and I might help...

Good luck with your porject,

Thierry

Thanks for the quick response Thierry. No, no typo we use 4.6.4 commercial, hoping to upgrade to LC8 at some point.

I will check out your Xcode post, thanks so much again.
