Getting Started
To make your application executable, you follow the same steps that you
did when you built the To-Do List application. Refer to Making the To-do List an executable application. For the Investment sample, follow these steps:
- Using the file manager for your operating environment, create a new
directory to contain your packaged application.
For example, create a directory called INVEST on the
C: drive.
- In the VisualAge Organizer, select your Investment
application. Then, from the Applications pull-down menu,
select Make Executable.
- To pick the window that will be displayed at application start-up, select
MainWindowView from the Windows to show at startup list,
then select OK.
- When the dialog appears that asks you if you want to continue, select
Yes.
- Next a file dialog will appear that requires you to specify the file name
and location used during the packaging process. For our example do the
following:
- Type the file name in the File name field.
Note: | For Windows and OS/2, use INVEST.EXE for the file
name. For AIX, HP-UX and Sun Solaris use invest for the file
name.
|
- Select the drive (C:) and directory (INVEST) you created for the
application.
- Then select OK.
