How to build Desktop app in LC?

[YogiYang]

Hello,

My prime interest in LC is to build cross platform Desktop app and not mobile apps.

I downloaded the Indy version of LC. But I do not see any option to build Desktop apps in LC?

What have I to do to setup LC for building Desktop apps?

TIA

Whether your building desktop or mobile standalone applications, you first need to go to "File / Standalone Application Settings..." after you've saved the project at least one time.

In that dialog you will be able to choose which Os' to compile for, along with the settings for which libraries to use, other files to include, etc.

After you have set your choices, you can compile using "File / Save as Standalone Application..."

What Bogs said.

However, are you quite clear about what can be saved in a standAlone? That regardless of platform, the executable can NOT save anything within itself at all?

In other words, tell us that you know what a "splash" stack is. Or that external files might be required.

Ok.

When we select File->New Stack the options available are only for small screen devices and not for desktop. So I think we will have to use default size option and then resize the stack as per our needs.

Yes, that is exactly right, although I believe that you can resize any stack you choose from the menu, the default stack is just that, a default starting size.
