How to package a GUI under windows to run on Linux

Louis LaBrunda

Hi All,

I develop on windows and mostly package for windows.  I sometimes package (under windows) an XD image for Linux.  All that works great.  When I package a GUI for windows I take the easy path of clicking "Make Executable" button.  Is there a way to package a GUI program to run on Linux (Ubuntu) from the windows development environment?  Or do I have to install the VA Smalltalk development environment on Linux, load my app and package it there?

Lou

Packaging GUI applications in XD is not currently supported. For GUI apps, you need to install a Linux VA Smalltalk development environment and package there.

Hi John,

Thanks, that's what I thought but I was hoping I missed something.

Lou,

I guess you really want to install a dev environment on Linux. Chances are your GUI needs some work on Linux anyways...

Other than that, the process is quite the same on Linux. I assume you are using the standard locale (english) on Linux, and so VAST should behave quite nicely on Linux. In foreign locales, you can see all sorts of more or less nice effects, from non-working copy/paste to unhanded shortcuts like Ctrl-S and such.
