App builder platform question

[Jim Hinchliffe]

I've written a small app in LV6.1 on Win XP & created an installer
with the App builder. Works fine on various Windows PCs. I'd like to
make it available to Mac & Linux users.

Here's what I tried:
On a Mandrake Linux 9.2 box I installed Wine (windows emulator) and
tried to run the windows installer. Can't remember the exact error,
but basically it couldn't find "C:/Program Files".

Since I could find no way to specify a Linux install path in App
Builder, I installed LV Runtime for Linux 6.1. Then I tried running
the stand alone .exe file. But I got "Unable to locate LabView
Run-Time Engine" ? Is the windows app looking for windows runtime? Not
that familiar with Linux, any thoughts?

Is this exe platform independent or do I need to do som
thing to it?
Any help is appreciated. I'll have to tackle the Mac issues separatly.

Thanks, Jim

The windows app builder is only for windows platforms. To create an executable for Linux or Mac, you need the app builder for each of those platforms. LabVIEW source code is cross platform compatible (when using pure "G" code) but the binaries are not. This is no different than having to buy different versions of MS Office for different OS's and CPU's.
