Applies
to: Finish your application - the build function This method creates all files into a directory of your choice. Since this plain method does not offer an installation routine, it is the method to use if you want to burn your project on a CD or DVD, create a setup with a third party installer, or to integrate your application into an existing application structure. All generated files are necessary for executing the application. Launch the "ApplicationName.exe" to run it. Important Note: Raw
means, that all the files are separately accessible and the whole folder
contents (inclusive sub folders and all files) are needed to run the application
afterwards. The executable file generated during this method is only the
runtime module, which needs all the files in the folders Graphics,
Sounds
and Additional, as well as the Config.BOB
file. |

Directory To change the target directory, press the folder icon to the right of the input field, which opens a folder dialog where you can choose or create a directory. Open
target directory in explorer after building: Filename Important note: do not confuse this with a single exe-file generated by the executable method. The executable file generated here is only the runtime module, which does need all other files in the directory to run. Encode Config-File TIP: invisible colors (non rectangle icons)
will only work if you create an original 32 x 32 pixels icon in your graphics
editor. Shrunk icons will not be able to have transparent areas (alpha
color). |

Doubleclicking the executable file (*.exe) in the target directory will launch your application. Please make sure you close the application before building again. Distribution
of raw applications: NOTE: the generated application is fully independent from the BrowserBob development environment and can not be opened in project mode anymore. Thus make sure to save your project file before you exit BrowserBob.
