How to build Windows 64 bits Tryton Client?

Support Developer
21

Did you install package cx_freeze?

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-cx_Freeze
22

yes. but it still gives me this error (this is a fresh MSYS2 install with just the steps mentioned above + the 2 pip install commands i mentioned)

23

Building 6.2 I have exactly the same problems as @LordVan,
I have installed babel following the guide:
pacman -S merc ... mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-babel ... mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-cx_Freeze
But the compile_catalog error was raised, so I install it via pip.
After that the second error raises:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cx_Freeze'
and cx_Freeze was installed from the first command I mention.

24

Maybe the default python is not python3.

25

Is there any known problem to not build Tryton with Docker image?

26

So the problem I have was because I was executing msys2 and should be using mingw64 instead.
Now I have the following:

$ sh make-win32-installer.sh
running compile_catalog
error: tryton/data/locale/fa/LC_MESSAGES/tryton.po:108: placeholders are incompatible
error: tryton/data/locale/fa/LC_MESSAGES/tryton.po:558: placeholders are incompatible
2 errors encountered.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\msys64\home\zipus\tryton\tryton\setup-freeze.py", line 81, in <module>
    gir_file = glob.glob(
IndexError: list index out of range
27

I was just testing the same because I also ran into this a while ago. Normally I cannot find a reason to build the client myself but it’s a nice exercise to show why I’m using GNU/Linux :laughing:

My advice now is to just start from scratch again (which I did back then). Uninstall MSYS2 and reinstall a fresh copy and do it all over again.

@acaubet You need to install Evince (it should be added to the list of packages to install but i can’t edit my first post)

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-evince

And it works :slight_smile:

I already updated the first post so the package is included on the list of packages to be installed.
Thanks for the pointer.

Thanks Pokoli (Section with patch could be also removed :slight_smile: )

31

Yes that was the problem. By adding a print-statement I also came across this missing package.

If it’s possible make also some changes to make clear to use mingw64.exe instead of msys2.exe

33

Yes, to put this in Bold :slight_smile:

34

I applied the sugested remarks.

I’m wondering if it won’t be better to convert that post into a how-to of developers.

Do you think it make sense?

35

No because it is too specific and it breaks too often.

36

I’m trying to compile last 6.0 version with a clean installation of msys2.
After configure mingw64 with required packages the compilation script gives an error

include_files must be a list of string

So I modified “setup-freeze.py” to add string and not tuples in “include_files” list. It builds the .exe and tryton client can be installed.

But it doesn’t run and gives the following error:

Traceback ...
...
C:/msys64/mingw64/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gi/__init__.py, line 126, in require_version

raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)

ValueError: Namespacfe Gtk not available

Any idea?

37

Yes your include_files does not include the gtk-3.0 files.

38

They seem to be there, but probably the problem is the fact command requires list of strings because in this case paths should be relative instead 2-tuples that supports absolute path in first element.

If you do not set a tuple, I do not know where the files are included. Tuple is supported: Setup script - cx_Freeze 6.14.1 documentation

Yes I saw it is supported, but it is not working.
