PY2EXE walkthrough for Python 2.6 & FPDB 0.20
created by Gimick on 22nd June 2010
Step 0 Get a fresh XP installation
----------------------------------
0.1/ Using XPhome 32bit
Step 1, Python install
----------------------
1.1/ install the following in sequence (accept all default options) there should be no errors !
Python 2.6.5 ... http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.5/python-2.6.5.msi
pywin 214 ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20214/pywin32-214.win32-py2.6.exe/download
numpy 1.4.1 ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.4.1/numpy-1.4.1-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe/download
matplotlib 0.99.3 ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-0.99.3/matplotlib-0.99.3.win32-py2.6.exe/download
pygtk 2.16.0 ... http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.16/pygtk-2.16.0.win32-py2.6.exe
pycairo 1.8.6 ... http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pycairo/1.8/pycairo-1.8.6.win32-py2.6.exe
pyGobject 2.20.0 ... http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygobject/2.20/pygobject-2.20.0.win32-py2.6.exe
py2exe 0.6.9 ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/py2exe/0.6.9/py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.6.exe/download
Step 2 Setup GTK
-----------------
There are quite a few GTK packages needed, and rather than install them individually, I used the official AllinOne from the GTK project.
2,1/ Create a new folder c:\GTK
2.2/ Extract the following zip file into c:\GTK
GTK+ all in one 2.20.0 ... http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.20/gtk+-bundle_2.20.0-20100406_win32.zip
2.3/ If everything has worked, you should have c:\GTK\bin \etc \lib \src and so on created.
Step 3 Set GTK into the PATH variable
-------------------------------------
The path for GTK isn't set by default, so need to let the o/s know where the GTK stuff is.
3.1/ Rightclick on mycomputer to show system properties
3.2/ select advanced/environment Variables
3.3/ in "system variables" NOT "user variables" do the following
3.3.1/ create a new item as name: GTK_BASEPATH value: c:\GTK
3.3.2/ edit the item "path", press home to get to the first character and insert the following text, (no quotes, including semicolon) %GTK_BASEPATH%\bin;
3.4/ to check, open command prompt and do:
dos>path ... system should respond with ... PATH=c:\GTK\bin;C:\WIN........
3.5/ Give it a spin to test (hopefully an application will start, if not, something has gone wrong)
dos> gtk-demo
Step 4 Get the fpdb GIT tree
----------------------------
4.1/ Best to take a copy to work with; following steps will assume that the fpdb folder is on the Desktop
Step 5 Put MSVCP90.dll temporarily into the fpdb folder
-------------------------------------------------------
py2exe will check for MSVCP90.dll. The version installed by python2.6.5runtime is not in the path, so we will put it in place TEMPORARILY. This will/must be removed manually once the exe has been created, as we do not have a licence to redistribute.
Search for MSVCP90.dll (should be found in C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\...
copy this file TEMPORARILY to the Desktop\fpdb\pyfpdb folder
Step 6 Run py2exe to generate fpdb.exe
--------------------------------------
6.1/ Run the script to create the fpdb.exe bundle
dos> cd Desktop\fpdb\pyfpdb
dos> c:\python26\python.exe py2exe_setup.py py2exe
wait a while, watch lots of copying and whatever.
6.2/ You should next get prompted for the GTK folder.
c:\GTK
6.3/ If there are no errors reported, it has probably worked, we will test soon.
Step 7 Delete C++runtime
------------------------
This is really really important, this file must NOT be distributed, so get rid of it now to avoid issues.
7.1/ in Desktop\fpdb\pyfpdb\ remove the file msvcp90.dll
Step 8 Drag out the completed bundle
------------------------------------
py2exe creates a new folder for the created software bundle, drag this out to the desktop for ease of working
8.1/ Drag Desktop\fpdb\pyfpdb\fpdb-yyyymmdd-exe to Desktop\
Step 9 Initial run
------------------
9.1/ Open the Desktop\fpdb-yyyymmdd-exe folder
9.2/ In explorer...tools...folder options...View uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"
9.3/ Double click run_fpdb.bat
9.4/ check the contents of pyfpdb\fpdb.exe.log, deal with any errors thrown
Step 10 drum roll.......
------------------------
10.1/ hopefully, fpdb will run
10.2/ Try out a few options, deal with any errors reported
Observe that the msvcp90.dll was provided by the python runtime package, so we don't have to install the separate package from Microsoft. End-users will, however need the dependency.
Step 11 pruning
---------------
11.1/ The generated folder is 100+MB and can be pruned by removing the following directories:
pyfpdb/lib/glib-2.0
pyfpdb/lib/gtk-2.0/include
pyfpdb/lib/pkgconfig
pyfpdb/share/aclocal
pyfpdb/share/doc
pyfpdb/share/glib-2.0
pyfpdb/share/gtk-2.0
pyfpdb/share/gtk-doc
pyfpdb/share/locale
pyfpdb/share/man
Step 12 rename folder
---------------------
12/ Rename the folder to something meaningful to the community
Step 13 Compress to executable archive
--------------------------------------
13.1/ Download and install 7zip 914 ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/9.14/7z914.exe/download
13.2/ Rightclick on fpdb executable folder, select 7zip Add to archive... select SFX archive option switch
13.3/ Test the created exe file
