RE: [ROOT] creating a single exe on ROOT

Hello Stelios,   Can you elaborate a little bit what do want

  There are possible scenarios:

 

1.     You do not want to type "root", you want to type "code" but you do not want
to include ALL ROOT DLL's inside of your 

"exe'. It can be done easily. For example you can rename "root.exe" into
"code.exe" and add loading of your macro in to rootlogon.C script

 or just put the name of your script into custom $ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc as a
name of the "logon script" 

 

Something like this

$ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc:

 

   Rint.Logon:              MyCustomLogonRootMacro.C

 

Of course one can image more sophisticated solution also (But anyway there will be
no big difference). 

For example instead of renaming we can recreate the root.exe with a new name and
add call loading your DLL inside of the exe.

However I do not see the big advantage of later solution, just more job.

 

2.     You want your Exe to include  the whole ROOT system, all its share/DLL's
library. 

 

 

          Can you specify what your choice is?

Best regards

                   Valeri

Subject: [ROOT] creating a single exe on ROOT

 

Hi, 

I would like to create a single exe file from a ROOT macro. Is this possible? 
I know for example that if I have a macro named "code.C" I can do: 

root[..].L code.C++ 

and that creates a shared object named "code_C.so" that I can later load 
in a ROOT session and execute. 

What I would like to do is to create a sigle file let's say "code.exe" that will 
do the same thing (without of cource the need to load it into a ROOT session). 

Thanks! 

Stelios.
