[PyInstaller] cross-compilation of windows executables from linux

[Brian Tsai]

Hi,

I was reading the changelog of pyinstaller 1.4 and noticed that cross-compilation support of building windows executables on linux has now been added, anybody test this out/have any tips for how to do this?

thanks,

Brian

Basically, you need to:

1) Mount a Windows partition containing the operating system, Python
itself and all the required dependencies.

2) Run PyInstaller/Configure.py --target-platform=win32 --executable=/mnt/WINDOWS/Python25/Python.exe

3) Run Build.py over your specfile (it should be OK to do this within a
Linux checkout of the source code, but you maybe better off trying it
first with a Windows checkout within the mounted partition).

Being a preliminar feature, any kind of feedback is very welcome.

I see this is an old thread; are there any newer procedures available to get the same effect?

No, this feature was abandoned. It's better to use wine, see http://www.pyinstaller.org/wiki/FAQ#Features for more about it.
