Portable App Development

I wrote a launcher for Winamp and was wondering where or who can host it for me. I'm looking to post it in the beta forums for feedback. Thanks

Hello,

I'm a first year student for computer science, and haven't written anything more sophisticated than a QBASIC "Hello World" program.

I got the NSIS downloaded and want to make a launcher for the program "GalaxyForge".

Hey, I'm in the final stages of a portable app launcher, but for one final configuration piece, I need to pass a string to the launcher from another .exe (basically, as a command line parameter), so basically the launcher would be called by the command "MyPortableLauncher.exe" -stringgoeshere

Basically, I'm passing the launcher an environment variable that exists only within the app itself and is semi-random (I think it's user-specific), and other weird stuff, so I can only get the string into the launcher in one of two ways, both involving passing via a parameter in an executable call.

Ok, here is the first Skin for Jooleem. The next Skin coming soon...

Name:
AMORA

Hope you like it.

As you might know I made X-Moto portable. (It's currently in development testing)
I thought it would be pretty cool to have a PAM skin for this game. What i thought was something like this: a Portable Apps branded USB stick as a moto (with wheels of course) and a driver. (No idea for the driver a this point though.)
Example can be found here and a tutorial can be found here

I'm working on portablizing a game called Sokowiz. I noticed it was skinable and although I'm not super good at graphics I was thinking it would be really cool to have a PAM theme. Would any of our Graphic artists mind making a theme? It doesn't look like it would be too hard. It gets it's theme from a single .bmp file.

so can java apps be made PortableApps or not. there are portable java apps on here, so how is it done? Angry IP Scanner is switching to Java so i'm just hoping i can support it on here still.

how do i compile a c++ tarball for windows? not sure but it looks like i probably need to use cygwin to do it but it doesn't really have much helpful documentation. i'm trying to recompile Secret Maryo Chronicles after making a small change in the code and i just thought someone like Steve would know how to recompile it.

I have some time to kill every couple days, and a basic understanding of programming, so is there a guide that's a bit more detailed than the one at https://portableapps.com/development ? I want to see if I can take programs (open source, obviously)that are already psuedo-portable (like in a .zip or .7z archive), and just make a .paf out of that. Nothing special, just writing paths, adding a splash PA logo, and then making the .paf itself.

Hi!

I'm working on my first PortableApp which is using %APPDATA% folder for storing settings. Is it possible for the Launcher trick the app so that it could use Data/settings directory instead of %APPDATA% or should I recompile the application?
