Building windows binary from Linux

The suggested approach is to use a specific docker image: https://github.com/ogrisel/python-winbuilder

To do that install docker. In Ubuntu you can do that with:

sudo apt install docker.io

Supposing you have the pyplatec code check out under ~/repos/pyplatec run:

docker run -t -i -v ~/repos:/code ogrisel/python-winbuilder bash

In the wine console move to the lands directory:

cd ../code/lands

It will download a large docker image and open a bash console into the image. From there we can run a wine console:

WINEPREFIX=/wine/wine-py2.7.8-64 wineconsole --backend=curses cmd

Install the requirements. Supposing you are using Python 2 run:

python -m pip install -r requirements2.txt

Note that a compiled version of PyPlatec should be available so no C/C++ compilation should happen.

Now let's install pyinstaller

python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -U setuptools
python -m pip install pyinstaller
