generating standalone applications

[Oliver Mooney]

Dear all,
I'm hoping to use Oz as the engine for a GUI program on Apple's OS X, with a
native Cocoa front-end. I'm having a bit of trouble trying to work out the
canonical way of doing such a thing. I'm assuming I can launch Oz as a
separate process and communicate with the Oz runtime via sockets.

Deployment is also something I'm not clear on. It seems that the entire oz
development system has to be installed before a user can run oz scripts, and
that the '--executable' options only remove the need to launch scripts via
the ozengine explicitly. So when I try to run a script compiled and linked
with the -x option on another machine without Mozart/Oz installed I receive
the error "line 2: exec: ozengine: not found".

Is it possible to generate a standalone executable from an Oz script? What's
the standard means of distributing oz scripts to users who need the
functionality but not the ability to develop those scripts?

Thanks,
Oliver.
