Executables (5)

1 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2011-11-05 15:42 ID:VrSCE7ev

How do they work? If I create a calculator program with Java and I want to create an executable of it, how would this process work? One for windows and one for linux.

What about executables in other languages? I don't want to make a web app, I just don't. I want to make a desktop game!

I Love you.

http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/ seems legit.
Typically though you just distribute the Java package and let the target platform run it accordingly. There's no immediate advantages to conversion.

You create a Java archive (a .jar) and people run it with java -jar calculator.jar (or some equivalent).

>>2 Hmm. Too complicated, I give up.

>>3 That would not work with the general public. If I do a cute game or a twitter app with a 3D front, people want the executable that requires nothing but a double click. This is why I don't want to use applets; people find installing the plugin too annoying.

i'm pretty sure windows and most linux distributions will do the right thing if you double click on a jar file... if not, you could just distribute a cmd file and shell script with it.
