It sounds as if you think PyInstaller is a cross-compiler. It is not. Read the doc again,
http://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/ esp. in the Overview where it says "The output of PyInstaller is specific to the active operating system and the active version of Python. To prepare a distribution for a different OS, or for a dfferent version of Python, you run PyInstaller on that OS, under that version of Python." So on Ubuntu you make a distribution you can send to Ubuntu users. After "pyinstaller mytest.py" you have a folder "dist". In that folder is another folder named "mytest". That folder is the bundle containing everything your app needs to run. That folder is what you can zip up and give to your Ubuntu users. Inside the folder "mytest" should be an executable "mytest" which is what your users run. Then go to your Windows machine or virtual machine and set up "mytest.py" to run there; then install PyInstaller there; and make a bundle there that you send to Windows users. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
