It's theoretically possible, but pratically very difficult to implement. There are many implicit/explicit assumptions that the version of Python with which you're running Build.py it's the same with will be contained in the final package, and this pretty much defeats cross-compiling. Notice that, for this reason, it is equally hard to use e.g. Python 2.3 to package a Python 2.4 binary. -- Giovanni Bajo _______________________________________________ PyInstaller mailing list [email protected] http://lists.hpcf.upr.edu/mailman/listinfo/pyinstaller
