Martin you have got it.
eg aprogram being someones work or a makefile that takes
some options and a RB file
options could be as below and -novideo -asShy
aprogram myshoesapp.rb -> myshoesapp.run (and perhaps
the win / mac versions too)
aprogram -w myshoesapp.rb -> myshoesapp.exe
aprogram -m myshoesapp.rb -> myshoesapp.dmg
Now I've not used a makefile as most/all my apps are within
my distro's package manager system so a pointer to a
tutorial/guides/steps/howto docs would be great too.
As i say i don't know how and using the search patterns i
did last night showed me little good info on how to do this
with shoes.
Does shoes3 improve on this area at all?
