Building a Standalone Application With SQL Yoga

This lesson will show you how to build a standalone using a single stack, the SQL Yoga library and the LiveCode database libraries.

Configure Standalone Application Settings

Configure Standalone Application Settings

Focus on the stack you want to build a standalone with.

Select File > Standalone Application Settings...

Configure General Properties

Configure General Properties

1) From the General pane, specify that you want to select inclusions. You need to manually select inclusions because your application calls SQL Yoga handlers, not RevDB handlers and the Standalone Builder won't be able to detect that you need the database library.

2) Select Database Support and select the database driver you need.

Stacks

When building the standalone you will need to copy the SQL Yoga stack file into the application.

Select Database File

In this example I need to copy the france.sqlite file.

Save as Standalone Application

You can now close the settings window and build the standalone application.

Select File > Save as Standalone Application... and select the folder to build the standalone in using the folder selection dialog that appears.
