As a case in point I have this example of another language: colorforth. It was made by a genius inventor (Chuck Moore), and only runs from a boot-floppy and writes pixels to the screen. Someone made an environment in MS-Windows to emulate the booting process and all. This actually runs colorforth. Now about Wine, how good is it? Actually it is good enough to run the above emulator! (We run a third emulator, of the GA144, on top at a decent speed.)

Re: generate Windows exe on Linux
thanks Jérôme. Closest I have found is pyinstaller added support for cross-compiling a year ago by mounting a Windows partition on Linux: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/pyinstaller/KISZP5sHCWg But it was not stable so will be removed: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/PyInstaller/linux$20windows/pyinstaller/veq3BlA_Bns I have come across many vague suggestions to try using Wine with py2exe / pyinstaller / cx_Freeze, but few accounts from people who have actually succeeded.

Even newer ones, have a look at http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ to get a taste of what it's capable of. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The compliance requirements for software build tools tend to be rather easy to meet, so Wine shouldn't have any real problems there. Having said that, Wine is actually surprisingly capable these days. It won't always run the latest release of our all-time favourite WYGIWYD character pushing or number layouting programs from MS-Office fame, but at least older versions of many a program tend to work rather nicely.

Did you try this? I didn't even think about trying this out, but I know very little about the limits of Wine, so perhaps I underestimate it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: generate Windows exe on Linux
http://www.pyinstaller.org/ or http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/ You can also run py2exe in WINE On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 4:42 AM, Jérôme wrote: > Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:19:12 +0100 > Waldek M. a écrit: > >> On Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:12:29 -0800 (PST), Plumo wrote: >> > I have a python script using only the standard libraries. >> > Currently I use a Windows VM to generate exe's, which is cumbersome. >> >> And what exactly *is* this exe about? > > Whatever. > >> > Has anyone had success generating exe's from within Linux? >> >> That doesn't seem to have anything to do with Python, >> but you might want to google for cross-compiling. > > I think his question is totally python related. > > As I understand it, Richard creates executables from python scripts using a > tool, such as py2exe [1], that requires windows.

I think his question is totally python related. As I understand it, Richard creates executables from python scripts using a tool, such as py2exe [1], that requires windows. He would like to have an equivalent tool that runs on linux, to avoid going through the trouble of having to run a windows installation. I'm interested in such a tool as well.

That doesn't seem to have anything to do with Python, but you might want to google for cross-compiling. Best regards, Waldek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
