Hi I’m trying to build a onefile distribution on Windows XP,
for Activestate Python 2.4.1, using the excellent PyInstaller 1.0. I want to include some binaries with the installation so my
users don’t have to install other applications. My initial spec file looks like this: a =
Analysis([os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\_mountzlib.py'),
os.path.join(HOMEPATH,'support\\useUnicode.py'), 'synpy.py'],
pathex=['C:\\ian\\mine\\synpy']) pyz = PYZ(a.pure) exe = EXE( pyz,
a.scripts,
a.binaries,
name='synpy.exe',
debug=0,
strip=0,
console=1 ) Which was generated by Makespec, and works fine, and I can
run the generated synpy.exe, although I obviously have to provide the
additional binaries separately. I’m probably being particularly thick, but I find the
description of spec files has lots of detail of the syntax of the implementation
but is very opaque on its application. In particular some explicit
examples for onefile setup or how to add binaries would be useful (to me, at
least). So, when I try to add one of the binaries, I add a collect
line on the end (although I’m not the least confident if/why this is
right even though the syntax is correct): collect = COLLECT(a.binaries+['dot.exe','c:\\program
files\\att\\graphviz\\bin\\dot.exe','BINARY']) but now doing a build fails with this output: C:\ian\mine\synpy>c:\Python24\lib\site-packages\pyinstaller_1.0\Build.py
synpy.spec checking Analysis checking PYZ checking PKG checking ELFEXE checking COLLECT building out4.toc because out4.toc missing building COLLECT out4.toc Traceback (most recent call last): File

in assemble os.mkdir(self.name) OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument:
'C:\\ian\\mine\\synpy\\dist_C:\\ian\\mine\\synpy\\buildsynpy\\out4' Which doesn’t seem to have much correlation to the
change I made to the spec file. I’ve tried different paths to the binary, and putting
the collect line in different places, but the result was the same. Can anyone help? Regards Ian Barnard
