[REBOL] REBOL stand-alone applications? Re:

2000-08-04 Thread RChristiansen 

Hmm...

Well, with /View, here is how you can make a "stand-alone" app for the 
BeOS...

1. give the script the #! /boot/home/config/bin/rebol shebang

2. make the script executable.

3. give the script a nice icon.

4. use PackageBuilder to have the following installed when the end user 
double-clicks on the .pkg file...

executable script in /install_folder
executable script in /boot/home/config/bin/
rebol in /boot/home/config/bin/


This installs the /View rebol binary alongside the executable rebol script in 
the bin/ directory. Now the script is executable from the commandline (just 
type the name of the script) or the script is executable like other applications 
in that you can double-click on its icon to launch it.

I'm sure something similar can be accomplished on other platforms.

Of course, it's not within the license to install /View for the end user. This is 
how it COULD be done.

Hi,

There's a possibility to append your script after the REBOL executable,
at least Windows loader does not complain. But you must then run REBOL
with a long command line from a shortcut, not just rebol.exe.

First, make a directory, copy REBOL.exe, hide-script.r and the script
you want to hide (I use a random example dancelady.r) to that
directory. Then run hide-script.r - it will create a modified REBOL
executable and print a command line - copy it and paste into some
shortcut.

You can then delete dancelady.r file from disk - modified REBOL will
still run it.

Scripts and example shortcut (renamed, because Netscape Messenger
tries to follow it) are attached.

Hope this helps,
