First, update to PyInstaller SVN trunk, as it's much newer and has so many fixed bugs. Then, generate a spec file like this (which is a good first step to debug any problems might arise): python PYINSTALLER_DIR\Makespec.py --onedir --debug --console gnumed.py Then, try building it: python PYINSTALLER_DIR\Build.py gnumed.spec It will create a directory "dist" with the program inside. Try running it from the console, so you see any traceback it might happen. It doesn't work, send us the whole output of the program being run and we will help you tracking out problems. If it works, regenerate the specfile using "--onefile --windowed". This time, a single file "gnumed.exe" will be generated. Try it, it should work. To get a smaller file, makes sure that you have installed UPX and it's available in the PATH. Then re-run Pyinstaller's Configure.py so that it sees UPX and activate it. -- Giovanni Bajo Develer S.r.l. http://www.develer.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
