PyInstaller for Linux -> Windows

Create Windows executables on Linux using PyInstaller under Wine/Docker.
Based off of docker-pyinstaller, but now using Python 3.12 and the latest version of PyInstaller.

---

Installation

• Install Docker, Python, and PyInstaller.
• Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/iiPythonx/pyinstaller-windows
cd pyinstaller-windows

• Build the Docker container (one time process, per update):

./setup_container.sh

**Building the container takes around 2 minutes and 20 seconds on modern hardware.

Actual Usage

For normal usage, the only file you need inside of your project is build.py.
After you've done some programming and want to build your exe, just run:

./build.py <path to python file>

For example, in a typical src/ based project, you might run:

./build.py src/main.py

Additionally, you can edit the PyInstaller command options as well as the ability to add an icon to your executable, just by editing build.py and rebuilding:

PYINSTALLER_OPTS = "--onefile"
PYINSTALLER_ICON = ""
