Re: [Adonthell-devel] Windows binary

[Kai Sterker]

Hi Josh, everyone,

here you go: http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/adonthell/adonthell-0.3.6-win64-beta1.zip

Note that it is 64bit only, and I have the slight fear that it might not run on Windows versions that do not use a Central European codepage. (I switched mine from German to English, for testing, but I guess installing a language pack and changing the system language is not the same as installing a completely different language version of Windows)

Anyway, give it a try ... in the worst case, I'll need to include all the encodings from the Python standard lib.

Also note, there is both a shortcut and a batch file. Either one should start it, but I believe the batch file is more robust. Once I have an actual installable package, I guess the installer can create a proper shortcut that points to the location where it gets installed and the batch file is no longer required.

P.S: I'll also send out a call for testing to adonthell-general. Bigger crowd there and as release draws nearer, the more people try, the better.

Hi Kai,

I can try it out on my in-laws' computer when you have it.

Cheers,

So the next step is identifying all required Python modules and scripts and also include them into the package. I assume I can identify the required files manually by deleting all .pyc files under $PYTHONHOME, then running Adonthell and checking which .pyc files are present. Don't really know if it can be automated. Guess the best I can come up with is adding a fixed list to the script once I know which files are required.

I think I have a first working binary package for 64bit Windows. Could play it from start to finish without issue. Need to tweak the script that prepares everything and test some more, but I think I can share this tomorrow evening. Won't be fancy, no installer, no icons, etc., just a .zip file to extract and run. But from there all the rest should not be too difficult.
