B4J Question B4J compile

[sseaand]

compile the application without dependencies ? the .exe file does not run separately...

 

[teddybear]

run_debug.bat what is the log?

 

[sseaand]

The project compiles, the .exe runs in the project folder, if you move the application to another location an error occurs. How do I build a standalone, independent application?

You should move the folder build instead of individual exe file.

The complete build folder must be copied. Not just the exe.

So it is always necessary to transfer the entire project folder with the file ? Is it not possible to distribute a single .exe file?

Build folder not project.
No, it is impossible to distribute a single exe file. it is java project and only packaged as exe，it depends on jre for running.

What is the minimum you need to move the .exe file to a new folder to make it work on other computers?

This is a bit confusing. The package contains everything needed. You do need all files from the package.
Best to create an installer with Inno Setup. The compiler will create a template for you.

So it is necessary to save the structure of the project folder where the .exe is after compilation ? And transfer all this to the users ?

Not really. As I wrote, best to create an installer.
