Kivy PyInstaller, Unable to get a Window, abort.

[Aftab Sarwar]

Hello,
I'm trying to create an exe using PyInstaller. My Kivy app works just fine on my machine, the problem is faced when an exe is created and run.

1. I am following this guide to create package: https://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-windows.html

2. I have tried this solution, downloaded installer and tried to the above: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40697876/kivy-unable-to-get-a-window-abort

3. Tried re-installed everything, including gstreamer (somebody suggested install gstreamer even if not used in app):

pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew
pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer
pip install kivy.deps.angle
pip install kivy


4. Tried everything that could be found online

Looking for help.

Excuse me. Did you solve it? I have the same issue

[ZenCODE]

Please post your pyinstaller .spec file.

[Alexey Kononenko]

I solved the issue by following documentation and making all the minor files like '.kv' + small written code into a different folder. 

"into spec"

from kivy.deps import sdl2, glew

block_cipher = None

coll = COLLECT(exe, Tree('min'),

               a.binaries,

               a.zipfiles,

               a.datas,

               strip=False,

               upx=True,

               *[Tree(p) for p in (sdl2.dep_bins + glew.dep_bins)],

               name='main')
