This guide covers basic Sweets concepts. See also the introduction page.

Self-contained binary bundles
This mode is intended for special cases, when a sweet needs to be used without Zero Install and Sweets. In this mode all dependencies that are accessible via Sweets, i.e., not those that come from native packages, are bundled. For binary based sweets, the resulting bundle will contain binaries built only for the environment that is being used to create this bundle. Thus, make sure that the new bundle will be used in exactly the same environment as the original one.

To build a self-contained binary bundle, use the bindist command:

sweet bindist 

The resulting bundle will be placed into the current directory.

After extracting, it might be used in several ways:


 * for libraries, source the shell file in the /binding directory;
 * for applications, execute the script /, the default application name is run.
