I tried again building without pywin32 and its definitely not required while building with msvc-built python on appveyour.
There is only warning >running build_exe >creating directory build\exe.win32-3.4 >copying C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\bases\Win32GUI.exe -> >build\exe.win32-3.4\Meld.exe >copying C:\windows\SYSTEM32\python34.dll -> build\exe.win32-3.4\python34.dll >*** WARNING *** unable to create version resource >install pywin32 extensions first >writing zip file build\exe.win32-3.4\python34.zip The full log is available at (note, it's huge!) https://ci.appveyor.com/project/galkinvv/meld-ljlj2?fullLog=true (see below for yml file link). By the way, about direct building from gitlab - preclone red errors in the log above are caused by using "direct branch building" from Gnome gitlab that was done by setting the "Custom configuration .yml file name" to direct link https://gitlab.gnome.org/galkinvv/meld/raw/meld-3-18-appveyour-experiments/appveyor.yml So there is at least two minor issues with direct building from Gnome gitlab with current appveyor: -build versioning issue (Preclone red error) -and explicit branch setting in path to appveyour.yml I didn't test automated building on commit. > Are you sure > > pywin32 isn't required?
