Is is possible to build standalones in the command line?

[nitzo]

Hello,

I am using revSaveAsStandalone to build my applications. In the IDE everything works.
When running livecode without the ui (using th -ui switch) the revSaveAsStandalone is not available.

Is there any way around this ?

Thanks!

I've seen references to the whole "-ui" thing, but haven't actually come across any real information about it. Hopefully someone that actually knows will chime in, as I find the question curious myself.

Which LiveCode version are you using? IIRC this may have been fixed in a recent version. Might be good to try the latest by build and see if it's been addressed. Should also be listed among fixes in the Release Notes.

<- Hopes Richard will come back in and expound on the whole "-ui" thing for those of us with no clue what it really is

The -ui option allows any LiveCode process (IDE engine or standalone app) to be run facelessly from the command line, e.g.:

Code: Select all

MyStandaloneApp -ui

This allows you to integrate LiveCode apps into workflows automated with shell scripting language like bash, PowerShell, and nearly any scripting language that lets you launch processes.

In fact, you can launch faceless standalones from a GUI standalone to provide multi-processing.
