Abstract
A computer software compiler system and method for distributing a machine independent computer program, created on a native computer platform, to heterogeneous target computer platforms. The system comprises installer components which exist on heterogeneous target computer platforms. The installers receive a compiler intermediate representation of the machine independent computer program. The compiler intermediate representation is architecture neutral and represents an architecture neutral distribution format. The installers translate the compiler intermediate representation to object code representations according to an HPcode-Plus compiler intermediate language. The installers operate in a machine dependent manner such that the object code representations are architecture dependent, or machine dependent, on the target computer platforms.
