For your needs, you need to subclass PharoWindowsConfig and PharoOSXConfig to change the icon and the name... then you can build it easily. > > - How to automate all the above tasks, so i can easily build a new > One-Click-Application again and again. you can use a jenkins, and if you do not want a CI process, you can use https://gitorious.org/pharo-build/pharo-build/blobs/master/build-oneclick.sh and adapt it to your needs. > > - What do i state as system requirements?
