I have a little problem with cx_freeze and hoping one of you can help me. I have searched trough this wonderfull forum but I can't find the answer. I have used cx_freeze before with python 3.3 and ktinker and that worked flawless. Now I made a little tool with a bit more complex gui and tried Glade. Building the gui with Glade works perfect for me and on Linux and Windows 7 the application I have made works fine (in python interpreter).
When I run python setup.py bdist_msi
I don't see any faults but when I try to run the exe in windows I get this error window:
(I can't post images jet)
The last 4 lines are:
_load_backward_compatible
File "ExtentionLoader_gi_gi.py", line 22, in <module
File "ExtentionLoader_gi_gi.py", line 14, in_bootstrap_
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found
I don't use any plugins, exotic imports so the dll's I have to load are only the dll's for Gobject. The setup file I have made from an example on this forum. For my ktinker app I did not have to import any dll.
Finally the question: Is there a list of dll's somewhere that tells me what dll's I have to add?
And is there something wrong with my setup.py?
The code is nothing special but if you want to check it: https://github.com/EddenBeer/CodeGenerator
The imports in Python:
import csv import sys import datetime
from gi.repository import Gtk
Installed on Windows 7:
Python-3.4.2
cx_Freeze-4.3.3.win32-py3.4
pygi-aio-3.14.0_rev6-setup
Setup.py:
import os, site, sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
## Get the site-package folder, not everybody will install
## Python into C:\PythonXX
site_dir = site.getsitepackages()[1]
include_dll_path = os.path.join(site_dir, "gnome")
## Collect the list of missing dll when cx_freeze builds the app
missing_dll = ['libgtk-3-0.dll',
'libgdk-3-0.dll',
'libatk-1.0-0.dll',
'libcairo-gobject-2.dll',
'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll',
'libjpeg-8.dll',
'libpango-1.0-0.dll',
'libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll',
'libpangoft2-1.0-0.dll',
'libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll',
'libgnutls-26.dll',
'libgcrypt-11.dll',
'libp11-kit-0.dll'
]
## We also need to add the glade folder, cx_freeze will walk
## into it and copy all the necessary files
glade_folder = 'glade'
## We need to add all the libraries too (for themes, etc..)
gtk_libs = ['etc', 'lib', 'share']
## Create the list of includes as cx_freeze likes
include_files = []
for dll in missing_dll:
include_files.append((os.path.join(include_dll_path, dll), dll))
## Let's add glade folder and files
include_files.append((glade_folder, glade_folder))
## Let's add gtk libraries folders and files
for lib in gtk_libs:
include_files.append((os.path.join(include_dll_path, lib), lib))
base = None
## Lets not open the console while running the app
if sys.platform == "win32":
base = "Win32GUI"
executables = [
Executable("CodeGenerator.py",
base=base
)
]
buildOptions = dict(
compressed = False,
includes = ["gi", "csv", "datetime",],
packages = ["gi"],
include_files = include_files
)
setup(
name = "Code Generator",
author = "Ed den Beer",
version = "1.0",
description = "Generating copy instructions for RsLogix5000 out of a list with tags in a CSV file",
options = dict(build_exe = buildOptions),
executables = executables
)
My problem is solved. Looking for an answer if found a utility called ListDlls.exe. In this link is explaned how to use it: https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/issue/92/pygi-and-cx_freeze-error
