Here's a progress report. I've decided to start by copying
test4_multipackage, and massage it until either I can see how to use it
for my needs, or until I give up.
Right off, I ran into a problem. I downloaded and installed 1.5, and it
died because it didn't recognize the word MERGE in the spec (I then
found that the doc files didn't mention MERGE, so apparently it's been
added since the 1.5 release). I then went to the latest snapshot, and
that built cleanly (once I figured out that I didn't need to Configure
first, and to run "pyinstaller.py" rather than "Build.py").
So, now the dist folder contains two subfolders. One contains only the
.exe (and a manifest), and the other (the _B folder) contains the .dll
and .pyd files. So apparently, if I have several applications (say
A-G), I should make one (say A) the one that all the others depend on.
To do this, I should have a MERGE list with A first, followed by the others.
I also made a folder called Programs, and copied all the files from both
subfolders into it. To my delight, I was able to run both .exes
successfully. However, when I renamed the B folder, the exes no longer
worked (Archive not found). I'm guessing that I'll be able to move the
.exes, but the dependency files will need to stay where they are.
How'd I do?
