Hi,

In addition to the previous email, I found the source code of the javapackager wrapper: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u-dev/jdk/file/6df3a2267733/src/macosx/... Python does almost the same thing: https://bitbucket.org/ronaldoussoren/py2app/src/b69e0ee6546ab157969524dd1285...

They use a shared lib

I would like to have a small utility to easily create an OS X application out of a Pharo image. Other languages hav such tools like javapackager[1] for Java or py2app for Python. Basically, these tools provide a small executable that manages arguments, is able to find the language runtime in the app bundle and call a function from a dylib that creates and run the VM (see [3] and [4]).

Could we do the same with OpenSmalltalk VM (embed it as a lib and run it from another exe)?

Regards, Christophe
