Making a Windows release

[jech]

Hi,

I tried to "compile" my PySide/QML application on Windows. I tried both cx_Freeze and py2exe. The result of both is the same - a blank window.

After running the .exe, all I get is a completely white window with decoration. It starts and quits without any errors.

I tried even a very simple example with the same result.I have no idea what should I check and what could be wrong.

I have had all kinds of struggles with this, though I am not using python bindings, just mobility plugins.

Call me a total idiot please. I simply forgot to copy my .qml files to the "dist" directory. It works perfectly now. What is strange, that Python didn't report the error.

I tried doing the same thing without success.

Could you tell me more details, please?

[kyleplattner]

I'm not sure what helpful details I can even provide. It returns a blank window without any errors.

And have you tried py2exe or cx_Freze? I use py2exe and it works good for me...

[kyleplattner]

Are those utilities specifically for using Python bindings?

[jech]

No, I use py2exe with both PyGtk and PySide, you can use it with console programs too.

[kyleplattner]

Can these utilities run on OS X?

[jech]

Sorry, I have no idea. I only use Windows and Linux. But I believe these utilities are targeted at Windows only.

Thanks for the help anyway.
