Running the packager

To package an application from the Application Manager, perform the following:

  1. In the Transcript, select Manage Applications from the Tools menu to open an Application Manager.
  2. Select the application you want to package.
  3. Select Package > Package then Browse Problems from the Applications menu to start the packaging process for the selected application. The packager prompts you for a visual part or for startup code that launches your application. Alternatively, you can also select Browse Problems then Package; any problems found during the packaging process are reported before the application is packaged.
  4. Select the visual part or type in the Smalltalk expression used to launch your application; then select OK.

To package a configuration map from the Configuration Maps Browser, perform the following:

  1. In the Transcript, select Browse Configuration Maps from the Tools menu to open a Configuration Maps Browser.
  2. Select the configuration map and the edition you want to package.
  3. Select Package > Package then Browse Problems from the Editions menu to start the packaging process for the applications in the selected configuration map edition. The packager prompts you for startup code that launches your application. Alternatively, you can also select Browse Problems then Package; any problems found during the packaging process are reported before the configuration map's applications are packaged.
  4. Select the visual part or type in the Smalltalk expression used to launch your application; then select OK.

After a few minutes, your new runtime image will appear in the default directory as EPAPPL. While the packager is working, it will show you status messages in a window that it opens.
