exe

[adammaj1]

Hi. Thx for the progeram. I use ubuntu 20.04. When I try :

 wine ./'Fractal Zoomer.exe'

the window opens with info the I need jre

I have a problem installing jre. Is it possible to compile to exe in such way tha I will not need jre ?

TIA

I can run:

java -jar "Fractal Zoomer.jar"

The application can be run both in windows (with the .exe) and on linux (using the *.jar). The only requirement, both in windows and linux, is to have a java runtime environment (jre) installed. I recommend installing the 1.8 jre version. Technically I could include all the native java libraries, which are included in the jre, on a zip with the exe file, but this would add 150mb extra to the application. I decided not to do that for now, since most people probably have java installed.

I am considering of adding those libraries though to make it stand-alone. I will give it a try in the next release, at least for the exe versions.

You have exe file in the repo.
Do you receive such warning from github:

It looks like you're using GitHub Pages to distribute binary files. We strongly suggest that you use releases to ship projects on GitHub. Releases are GitHub's way of packaging and providing software to your users. You can think of it as a replacement to using downloads to provide software. We found the following file(s) which may be a good candidate for releases: exe/Rainbow.exe. For more information, see https://docs.github.com/github/administering-a-repository/about-releases.

I cannot see any warning right now, but since you pointed it out, I will started using releases.
