9.1 Delivering applications to customers

Applications you have written using Functional Developer need access to Functional Developer's run-time libraries in order to run. This applies to all applications, whether executables or DLLs. The run-time libraries are normal Win32 DLLs, stored in the top-level installation folder Redistributable.

When you run an application on a machine where Functional Developer is installed, the libraries will be found in Redistributable, whether you run the application from the command line or from within the Functional Developer environment using commands such as Application > Start.

But to deliver your Dylan application to a customer or other third party, you will need to include in your distribution the Functional Developer run-time libraries that the application uses.

This chapter discusses two methods of delivering Dylan applications with the necessary run-time libraries: using the environment to build a Release folder, and using Functional Developer's stand-alone run-time library installer.
