Export Binaries for Download

 

The WPS v3.1X compiler generates binary files from the source files in the resource. When these files are transferred to the machine, they are interpreted and executed.

 

The export binaries for download functionality encapsulates the binaries files into a .bbp file. This .bbp file can be redistributed, but the original source file can not be viewed or changed.

 

1) Export from the Configuration (Pop-up Menu)

 

Right-click the configuration that contains the resource to be exported, and then, in the popup menu, click Export Binaries for Download.

In the File menu, click Export, and then  Export Binaries for Download.

Then click Next.
