standalone.livecode

The standalone.livecode file is in your app folder. This is is the binary "stub" stack you will build as an executable standalone using LiveCode. This is also the stack you will use to load all of your application files into the LiveCode IDE during development.

By default the standalone.livecode file has the stack name LevureStandalone when it is open in memory. If you like, you can rename LevureStandalone to something else. For example, you could rename it MyAppStandalone where MyApp is your application name.

Normally you do not need to modify the standalone stack. It is a bare launcher stack whose purpose is to load levure.livecodescript as its behavior. Once the framework is loaded it handles everything from there.

Loading your application with the standalone

To open your application for an editing session do the following:

1. Open the standalone.livecode stack in the LiveCode IDE.

2. With the Browse tool active, click on the Open Application button. The Levure framework will initialize and run the application in the IDE and you can begin editing your stacks.

Building an executable with the standalone

You configure the standalone settings of this stack and build the executable using the LiveCode development environment, as described here.
