Make mShell SIS

Turn a compiled m script into a standard .sis that installs on any phone of its platform, with no need to install mShell first.

1Input Files

More information

.mex File iOne .mex File of the complete m code of your application (.mex files are created from within the m application). This is the only mandatory file. If your application requires other .mex files which will be spawned as subprocesses from the main application, they must go into a "Document Directory Zip File".

The compiled script: Compile in mShell writes it next to your source.

Icon FileiAn optional Icon File for the icon of your application. This should be a .svg (Scalable Vector Graphics) file, stored using the Tiny SVG profile. Bitmap icons (PNG, GIF, JPEG) can also be submitted, and the web application will attempt to vectorize them, but do not expect brillant results in this case. If no icon file is supplied, a default icon will be used.Here: This generator does not vectorize. Bitmaps are converted straight to the platform's native icon format, which looks better than an autotrace. SVG is passed through unchanged, but only S60 3rd and 5th have a vector icon format -- UIQ and S60 2nd need a PNG, JPEG or GIF.

PNG, JPEG or GIF, or SVG on S60 3rd and 5th. Leave empty for the default icon.

NMI DLL FilesiOptional NMI DLL Files. These are .dll files (dynamic link libraries) of your own native modules. The file will only be installed if it is not already present on the device, so multiple applications using and providing the same DLL can coexist.

Embedded SIS FilesiOptional Embedded SIS Files. These are .sis files containing components your application depends on and which may or may not be already installed. This is another way to install your own native modules.Here: If you use this to install native modules, the .sis must be a base package with its own UID, not a patch to the m environment.

Document Directory ZipiOptional Document Directory Zip Files. These are .zip files whose contents will be extracted into the document directory during installation. The system.docdir constant contains the path to this directory, and it is also the current directory when the application starts.

Absolute Path ZipiOptional Absolute Path Zip Files. These are .zip files whose contents will be extracted into the root of the installation drive, allowing to put files into arbitrary locations not related to the application directory.
