Hello, I have just merged the branch "waf" to trunk. To users, it means that:
1) It is not required anymore to compile the bootloader on Linux and Mac. We now ship a binary bootloader on all platforms like we have always done on Windows.
2) On Linux, the booloader is a LSB binary that should run on most Linux distributions. Let me notice that usually on Linux binary problems arise from *libraries* shipped within the package made by PyInstaller (eg: libX11.so shipped with the program but conflicting with libc.so on the target operating system). The fact that the bootloader is LSB just means that many people will not have to compile it themselves.
3) For users that need to patch the booloader: The bootloader now is built using waf (http://code.google.com/p/waf/). Waf itself is a single Python file committed in the PyInstaller repository, so you just need to run it to compile the bootloader. See the updated manual about it.
Many thanks to Martin Zibricky who has contributed this great patch to PyInstaller!
