Doesn't waf automatically work with multiple compilers including Visual Studio? > What should be the policy about choosing compiler on windows?

Theoretically, we should support all compilers that are able to produce a working bootloader. I thought waf already did it automatically, this is why I was asking. I was eager to get mingw working because that is a FLOSS solution available to everyone, but on the other hand many Python developers might have Visual Studio around (since it's basically required to compile Python extensions nowadays). > > 5) Can you please prepare a patch for the documentation as well > > (doc/source/Manual.rst)?

Eventually, I would like to ship PyInstaller with binary bootloaders for all operating system, at which point building the bootloader would be a task for developers only and thus the section will be moved out of "Getting Started". > Could you please also take care of the code where pyinstaller will > decide whether to bundle app with custom loader or with the loader > distributed with pyinstaller for a particular platform? There is no such logic in Build.py: what it does is simply using the bootloaders in support/. -- Giovanni Bajo :: Develer S.r.l.
