How to build Windows 64 bits Tryton Client?

Here’s an update of procedure How to build Windows Tryton Client (32 bits)

First you need a Windows 10 64 bits :

In msys interface:

  • Update database packages and system packages:
    pacman -Syu
  • Close msys window and relaunch msys64 to update packages:
    pacman -Su
  • Install some needed packages:
pacman -S mercurial tar python3 mingw-w64-x86_64-atk mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-gdk-pixbuf2 mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-gobject mingw-w64-x86_64-gobject-introspection mingw-w64-x86_64-goocanvas mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3 mingw-w64-x86_64-nsis mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-babel mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-dateutil mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-setuptools mingw-w64-x86_64-librsvg mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-cx_Freeze mingw-w64-x86_64-evince
  • Clone Tryton and go to latest stable branch (or you could compile in dev version but it’s not recommended):
    hg clone http://hg.tryton.org/tryton
    cd tryton
    hg up <version>
  • Execute client compilation script:
    sh make-win32-installer.sh

Now, you should get tryton-setup.exe in c:\msys64\home\username\tryton
Hope this help ! Remarks and comments are welcome.

Great post @maxx.
How to get calendar working? I see goocanvas is installed but I cannot find information about installing goocalendar on msys2.

Thanks Sergyo!

Don’t know. Adding package in setup-freeze.py ? Maybe you should ask to cedk?

GooCalendar should be installed with pip because it is not enough famous to be packaged by MSYS. But its dependencies like GooCanvas should be installed with MSYS tools.

I tried with no success:

pacman -S python3-pip
pip install GooCalendar
sh make-win32-installer.sh

Are you sure to have installed GooCalendar for Python3?

I think so …

Datalife@DESKTOP-0L6677D MINGW64 ~
$ pip -V
pip 19.2.3 from /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)

Datalife@DESKTOP-0L6677D MINGW64 ~
$ pip list | grep Calendar
GooCalendar 0.6

But does it work?

$ python3
>>> import goocalendar

GooCalendar depends on non Python dependencies like goocanvas.

No, it doesn’t.
Checking the path of pip I noticed it is not installed on /mingw64 directory but in /usr/lib.

So finally I get it working defining the custom target on pip install:

pip3 install goocalendar -t /mingw64/lib/python3.7/site-packages

Indeed another way would be installing specific pip for mingw64:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-pip
pip3 install goocalendar

i got this

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:/msys64/mingw64/tcl/tcl8.6'

Got same problem after updating packages…
Seems linked to the latest version of cx_Freeze (mingw-w64-x86_64-python-cx_Freeze-6.0-1)
Try to use an older version of cx_Freeze (5.1.1-3)

Got the same problem when building Windows Tryton Client (32 bits).
Found the following solution:

  1. Create С:\msys32\mingw32\tcl directory and copy into it these directories:
    C:\msys32\mingw32\lib\tcl8
    C:\msys32\mingw32\lib\tcl8.6
    C:\msys32\mingw32\lib\tk8.6
  2. Create С:\msys32\mingw32\Dlls directory and copy into it these files:
    C:\msys32\mingw32\bin\tcl86.dll
    C:\msys32\mingw32\bin\tk86.dll
  3. Rename these files in С:\msys32\mingw32\Dlls directory:
    tcl86.dll → tcl86t.dll
    tk86.dll → tk86t.dll

After that you can use the latest version of cx_Freeze and build Tryton Client.

Thanks Victor! Tested to build a 64 bits version…

After cloning tryton, apply following patch (until commited):
https://codereview.tryton.org/250371002

wget https://codereview.tryton.org/download/issue250371002_280621002.diff
patch -p1 < issue250371002_280621002.diff

Apply Victor’s solution for 64bits:

  • Create С:\msys64\mingw64\tcl directory and copy into it these directories:
    C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\tcl8.6
    C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\tk8.6
  • Create С:\msys64\mingw64\Dlls directory and copy into it these files:
    C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\tcl86.dll
    C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\tk86.dll
  • Rename these files in С:\msys64\mingw64\Dlls directory:
    tcl86.dll -> tcl86t.dll
    tk86.dll -> tk86t.dll

Execute client compilation script:

    sh make-win32-installer.sh

Now, you should get your executable in c:\msys64\home\username\tryton

For me, this is due to this https://github.com/anthony-tuininga/cx_Freeze/pull/493
But normally we do not need to bundle tcl/tk. I checked and on our official release, they are not bundled.
Maybe this https://github.com/anthony-tuininga/cx_Freeze/pull/559 fix the issue or we will have to explicitly exclude tkinter.

The latest version of cx_freeze is not packaged in msys32 so don’t know if this issue fix the problem.
But maybe it’s better to exclude tkinter if not used…

I did test again with latest version of cx_freeze and still the same problem with tkinter.
Don’t know why this package is included automatically, to avoid this problem may be we could add an “excludes” section in the setup-freeze.py file ?

...
setup(name='tryton',
    version=version,
    options={
        'build_exe': {
            'no_compress': True,
            'include_files': include_files,
            'silent': True,
            'excludes': ['tcl', 'Tkinter'],
            'packages': ['gi'],
            'include_msvcr': True,
            },
        'bdist_mac':
...

Where is the bug report on cx_Freeze? What is the opinion of the maintainer?
I would avoid include hacks without first trying to solve the problem.

Bug introduced 23/01/2020: https://github.com/anthony-tuininga/cx_Freeze/issues/566
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/6139
No response…
Anyway it seems strange those packages are included even if Tryton doesn’t use them.

I updated the build machine and I got the same problem now.
As far as I understand, they decided to always bundle tkinter so I reused the example of the documentation and excluded tkinter: Issue 9292: Exclude tkinter from cx_freeze - Tryton issue tracker

2 things:

  1. I also had to run pacman -S python-setuptools

  2. I then got this error:

    $ sh make-win32-installer.sh
    usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] …]
    or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 …]
    or: setup.py --help-commands
    or: setup.py cmd --help

    error: invalid command ‘compile_catalog’

I had babel installed wiht pacman, but it seemed to still not work …
so I just did pip install babel and then It worked but I got this error next:

$ sh make-win32-installer.sh
running compile_catalog

even though the exclude ‘tkinter’ line is there in setup-freeze.py …
