I am on holidays to at London for Christmas with no direct access to my machine.
But you can get a very good idea how to do what you want by taking a look at standalone Pharo apps like Phratch and Dr Geo . The good news is that is both very easy and extremely flexible. You can also change the icon of the app and and the name of the Pharo executable to make the user completely unaware officials Pharo existence. You can also add squeak to your google searches because they have been several posts about this in the squeak mailing list . Pharo is incompatible with squeak but it's still a fork of squeak so there is a lot of common ground. After that you can start removing packages you don't need, Pharo is in the process of of being modularlized so that is easy to start with a skeleton image. If you are in need of a specific Pharo library choosing Cuis which is also a squeak fork is simple and much lighter than Pharo image. Squeak , Pharo and Cuis share the same VMs. Las but not least if you are on Windows there has been a thread on our list on how to make window installers for Pharo apps the easy way. You may want to google that too, I think Damien made a guide about it . We can go on and on and on how much Pharo can be customized. I even recently made an auto update functionality for me Pharo project ChronosManager which detects if the github repository has a new release available and downloads it so that the user use always the latest stable release without a need to worry about it or do anything about it ;) On Fri, 25 Dec 2015 at 13:42, Saša Janiška <g...@atmarama.com> wrote: > On Pet, 2015-12-25 at 11:48 +0100, Cyril Ferlicot wrote: > > > > First, be careful with Pharo 5 because this is an alpha.
