Hi, I am completely new to using this and need some help.
I am a new python programmer. I made a game that uses some images in a folder named images. The game also uses some sounds in a folder named sounds. I can't seem to figure out how to include these in the pyinstaller command to generate an .exe file. I have my game.py, images, and sounds directories all in the same location. I have looked at a lot of different tutorials that all only show you how to use pyinstaller with just a single .py file (for some reason everything after this is in itallics and this site wont let me change it?) I have tried to use the option: --add-data <SRC;DEST or SRC:DEST> But I have no idea what SRC;DEST is supposed to be. Some of the tutorials say to just put in your folder with a slash at the end like pyinstaller --add-data "img/" but then I would need the ; and a DEST right? what is that? Can someone please tell me the command to type to make this work. It is just my game.py and a img and snd directory. Like exactly what to type to make this work. Please. I have tried many variations of the command like: pyinstaller --add-data "img/";"img" game.py but nothing seems to work. I always get an error for the background image file not being found. (it is the first file from these directories that my code accesses.) I have also tried using cxfreeze with the exact same problem. No idea how to add directories. It is mentioned in a lot of youtube tutorials but never is complete. Thank you for any help you can provide. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
