I'm interested in being able to write and distribute standalone erlang
applications (i.e. a minimal erlang/OTP runtime system would be
bundled in with the application; end-users would not have to download
and install an erlang/OTP distribution on their own). Has anyone
successfully built and distributed erlang applications with all the
required erlang/OTP software bundled in? Similarly, are there any
documented/tested/supported ways of doing it?

I found Joe Armstrong's standalone erlang
<http://www.sics.se/~joe/sae.html> for R9B-0. I didn't find any
related projects (or processes for creating multi-platform standalone
distributions) for R14B, or any of the R13 releases for that matter.
Has anyone done work in this area?

Thank you much,

Nitrogen (1) does this: If you download a prebuilt binary from the
page, you get a complete stand-alone package with Erlang and
everything you need to run a webpage with Nitrogen in one directory.

Reltool (in the distribution) supports the creation of standalone
target systems just like
you describe.

Reltool is quite new and created among other thing to support the
scenario you describe.
