to convert. LabVIEW uses the file to create a project that contains the
source files and build specifications.
LabVIEW 8.0 includes the following enhancements and changes to the
Application Builder:
•
Each type of build specification has a multipage dialog box that you
can use to configure and edit build specification settings. Right-click
the build specification and select Properties from the shortcut menu to
access the dialog box.
•
(Windows) Installer build specifications are separate from other types of
build specifications. You can include more than one application or
shared library build in an installer build. Right-click the installer build
specification, select Properties from the shortcut menu, and navigate
to the Source Files page to select the application, shared library, and
source distribution builds to include in an installer.
•
You can debug applications and shared libraries if you enable
debugging in the build specification before you build the application or
shared library. Right-click the build specification, select Properties
from the shortcut menu, navigate to the Advanced page, and place a
checkmark in the Enable debugging checkbox.
When you debug applications and shared libraries, you cannot debug reentrant front
panels that an Open VI Reference function creates. You also cannot debug reentrant front
panels that are entry points to LabVIEW-built shared libraries.
Note
•
(Windows) You can specify a version number in application and shared
library build specifications. Right-click an application build
specification, select Properties from the shortcut menu, and navigate
to the Application Information page to set a version number for the
application. Right-click a shared library build specification, select
Properties from the shortcut menu, and navigate to the Shared
Library Information page to set a version number for the shared
library.
•
(Windows) You can include installers or drivers for National
Instruments products in installer builds. Right-click the installer build
specification, select Properties from the shortcut menu, and navigate
to the Additional Installers page to add drivers, LabVIEW Run-Time
Engine support, and other National Instruments product installers to
the installer build.

You can configure run-time languages for an application or shared

library build specification, select Properties from the shortcut menu,
and navigate to the Run-Time Languages page to set language
preferences for the application or shared library.
