# Using AppBuilder

AppBuilder is a template for easliy creating ROX-Filer compatible AppDirs, with or without source code. For many programs, all you have to do is specify the name of the program binary by setting the PROG variable near the top of the AppRun script. Then unpack the source code into the AppBuilder directory and change the name of the source directory to 'src'. Then, change the name of the AppBuilder template to whatever you like. You can change the icon with nearly any xpm or png image. It's best to use images from 32x32 to 48x48 since they get scaled. If the icon is an XPM just rename it to AppIcon.xpm, or if it's a PNG image, rename it to .DirIcon.
I've included a couple of example patches which can be used for configure scripts which have hard-coded paths.
AppBuilder is quite usable as is, but I have lots of improvements planned, when I get time.
