Building executable files

If you are building an executable file, there are two basic
ways to package the application:

• As one standalone executable file that contains all the objects
  in the application

• As an executable file and one or more dynamic libraries
  that contain objects that are linked at runtime

Read the chapter on packaging your application for deployment
in Application Techniques to get an understanding
of the best way for you to package the application. Then follow
the procedures in “Defining an executable application
project” to implement your strategy.

Building other types of targets

For an overview of how you use the Project painter to build
different types of components, see “Building components, proxies,
and .NET targets”.

Providing other resources

You might need to provide additional resources that your target
uses, such as bitmaps and icons. There are two ways to provide resources:

• Distribute them separately

• Include them in a PowerBuilder resource file (PBR)
  and build an executable, a dynamic library, or a component using
  the resource file

For more information, see “Distributing resources “.

Building the workspace

You can build and deploy all the targets in your workspace
using buttons on the PowerBar, pop-up menus in the System Tree,
or a command line. For more information, see “Building workspaces”.
