Maybe I could do them.
The branch will be merged as soon as I have done more testing on Mac OSX. But you are encouraged to test it on Linux as well, if that is your main target. Notice that, in the branch, you don't need to build the bootloader yourself anymore, we ship the binary version. I would like to notice that the LSB bootloader is a great help but does not solve binary compatibility problems with Linux. In fact, even if the bootloader itself is LSB, an average PyInstaller application contains many shared libraries which are not LSB (think of libpython itself, plus all dependencies and all third party libraries) and thus might hit compatibility problems when moved across different distribution. Running the freeze process on the oldest distribution available is still a good idea. On the other hand, at least the bootloader will be ok and will not even be required anymore to manually compile it. -- Giovanni Bajo :: [email protected] Develer S.r.l. :: http://www.develer.com My Blog: http://giovanni.bajo.it Last post: Compile-time Function Execution in D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
