6.6.7 Deploying Your Project

resources/deploy-1.png

You can use the IDE to help you deploy your software.

Roadsend Studio will copy the compiled binary and dependent libraries to a deployment directory of your choice. You may then create an installer based on the files in the deployment directory, using an installer creator such as the free InnoSetup which you can find at http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

  1. Make sure you have setup an Install Path in Project Properties
  2. Select the Optimized build type. Optionally select Static Linking.
  3. Build your project. Make sure there are no errors.
  4. Select Project->Deploy from the Main Menu
  5. A window will open allowing you to view all libraries that your project depends on. You may remove items from the list by clicking the checkmark next to the library.
  6. Click Ok. Your library files will be copied to the Install Path.
  7. A window will open listing the files in the Install Path.

NOTE:

Remember to check the license on any third party library files you intend to distribute. It is the your responsibility to make sure you are in compliance with all licensing terms.
