Portable App Development

I created a portable version of the R language for statistical computing and graphics. R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License in source code form. There is a portable version of R available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rportable/files/ but it is hard to find and has not been updated recently. I was wondering if we could add this app to the portableapps.com site.

The appinfo for the version I built is:

[Format]
Type=PortableApps.comFormat
Version=2.0

[Details]
Name=R Portable
AppID=R-Portable

I've been using and enjoying the fruits of your labor for many years now, and just wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work and dedication!

I want to make this scientific application portable, but it is confusing to me how because it is a whole set of .exe's that depend on each other.

Could I get some guidance on if it is possible to package this as a portable app without any source code changes?

Thanks in advance.

I am just wondering if there are any of the Portable Apps that are 64bit specefic. I think that all of them are currently 32bit & to some extent that makes sense as it give the developers a broader range of apps & potential. However I also think that is a dwindling process & was wondering about a fork to 64bit.

hello everybody!

im a frequent visitor here.
all of my apps. are either PAF, NSIS, but are all portable except for the few that need to be installed.

i have been using NSIS to make my portable apps. but decided to switch to PAF because of John @ PortableFreeware.com.

I have successfully built a few apps already.. but i have a few nagging questions i hope can be clarified here

1. If the application stores it's settings in the registry:
- do i have to use [FileMove] to back it up in addition to [registry]activate=true? or is setting the registry key to be portabilized enough?

Hey folks,

I'm in the process of making my first Java-based portable app, but Java as a platform is not a strong point for me. I seem to have come across something that isn't handled in the launcher manual, either that or I'm just not reading it correctly (always a possibility).

First of all, the app in question is Makagiga. I am using version 3.8.13 Portable/Cross-Platform purely because version 4 uses Java 7, for which there is currently no portable version.

I'll create a game program transformice
full screen portable

Eu vou criar um programa do jogo transformice

This is an installer that downloads the launcher and portablizes it, it is based on Java Portable Launcher and it requires Java Portable, I will post the pre release and code when i can find it, i started on this a long time ago and got it working i was just thinking i should probably post it.
