A set of folders containing all final bundled executables created by cx_freeze in the build process.
Built for a 64 bit linux machine with python3.3 this will look like:
exe.linux-x86_64-3.3
These folders are not tracked by version control
All scripts used by the build process
All resources created during the build process.
This includes:
- All bundled extensions
- Compiled assets file ( commotion_assets_rc.py )
This folder is not tracked by version control
To build cross platform images we use the cx_freeze tool.
To install cx_freeze you can download it or build it from source using the README provided upon downloading it.
- I can't build cx_freeze.
If you encounter an error like the one below it could be that the version of python you are using was compiled without a shared library.
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython3.3
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
You will want to reconfigure & install your version of python using the following option.
./configure --enable-shared
- python3.3 does not work when I re-compile it with enable-shared
If you are using python3.3, which is the version of python being used for this project you may have some problems with runing python3.3 after compiling it with enable-shared. The solution to this is to edit /etc/ld.so.conf or create something in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ to add /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib64. Then run ldconfig.
Extensions are built-in to the Commotion client by adding them to the extension folder and then adding that folder name to the core_extensions list in the setup.py.
core_extensions = ["config_editor", "main_window", "your_extension_name"]
Linux:
- go to the root directory of the project.
- type
make linux - The executables folder will be created in the build directory.
- run the
Commotionexecutable in the executables folder.
The setup.py script in the root directory is not a traditional distutils setup.py script. It is actually a customized cx_freeze setup script. You can find documentation for it on the cx_freeze docs site and a searchable mailing list on sourceforge.
