+<strong id="q3">Q: What is required to deliver executables?</strong><p/> +There is only one data point that I know of with respect to this; I created an Win32 .exe +using Lispworks. The code is available for anyone who might what to take a look (email me, it's +not on a server anywhere). The .exe is available too.<p/> +Key aspects of the design: + <ul> + <li>I included with the application the Cells-GTK libraries, so that the user didn't have + to mess around with finding and installing those. + <li>I used the <a href='http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page'>NSIS</a> open source installer + creation tool, which works nicely and, importantly, allowed me to add to the PATH variable. + My software looks for GTK on the path to determine where it was installed. It + then set *gtk-lib-path*. + <li>That's it! + </ul> + + <strong id="q5">Q: Did anyone really ask these questions?</strong><p/> <strong>A:</strong> Naw, I (Peter Denno) am just talking to myself. <p/>
