Inventory the files to include in the application

Before you can create a package, you must create an inventory of files needed to run your application, and the absolute path to these files.

Include the following files as they apply to your environment:

  • application configuration files
  • binaries
  • fglprofile
  • database files
  • images
  • libraries
  • resource files (such as topmenu, toolbar, or styles resource files)
  • webcomponent files

At this time, you do not need to reorganize your files. What is important is to identify what files must be included in the package.

Your project may use files that reside outside your source and target directory structures. You do not need to copy these external files to your project directory structure, because the Genero Studio packaging process copies them automatically.

Note: You can find the location of a file in your project by selecting the file in the Projects view and looking at its File path property. You can also find external files or libraries by looking at settings for key environment variables such as PATH, FGLLDPATH, FGLRESOURCEPATH, and FGLIMAGEPATH.
