Making tar from binaries

Chris Muller-3
 
I've compiled and tested a special VM on my local machine, now I want
to install it on some other machines.  I _thought_ there was an easy
way to, after "make install" which installs the VM on the local
machine, to also easily tar it up.  As you know, the default
installation distributes the binaries over two branches;
/usr/local/lib/squeak and /usr/local/bin.  I can manually build up a
tar file to add both branches, but is there a more streamlined way?

The current VM version can run from the bld directory directly. You could zip
just the binaries (squeak, squeak.sh, squeakvm */so.*,...) and unzip them into
a relative directory (say $HOME/.npsqueak/lib/). Now you can run it with
$HOME/.npsqueak/lib/squeak. Look into the launcher script 'squeak' for
details.
