Hi @MohamadAlsadi ,

try this:
in the bCNC.py change this line

PRGPATH=os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

with this

if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False):
    # frozen
    PRGPATH=os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(sys.executable))
else:
    # unfrozen
    PRGPATH=os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

In this way I can build a really nice exe that seems to works, and could be added to the distribution.

Here my setup.py

import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os"]}

# GUI applications require a different base on Windows (the default is for a
# console application).
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
    base = "Win32GUI"

setup(  name = "bCNC",
        version = "0.1",
        description = "Grbl sender and more",
        options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
        executables = [Executable("bCNC.py", base=base)])

and the I run python setup.py build
Copy everything from the dist folder to the main folder to access graphical resources etc.

Keep us posted about your test.

Wow, never hope this could work at first shot. A ready exe without dependency to install will be a nice addition for windows users

@effer Does it require python to be installed?

No
it not required paython

Tested with a clean PC (Win10) from USB key.
Even the camera stuff work (opencv, PIL) but still some of plugin is not loaded. It seems like it can't recognise "from fractions import gcd" that I left on some of the plugin even if not used.

Anyway really a cool feature. @vlachoudis what you think about add a branch with the exe for windows?
I could keep it in sync with the release if you dont' have access to a win machine.

@effer is a good idea. How big is the executable?

@HomineLudens
Copy link
Contributor

Executable itself 721 Kb. With all necessary library generated (dll,pyd etc) and bCNC stuff (icon, etc) we rise up to about 35Mb.
It seems like it can't output a single big exe with everything inside. Only external dependency will be Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable that is quite common to find already installed in windows.

@Terminator88 never see that. Are you using cx_freeze or py2exe?

@Terminator88

I use cx_freeze like you, I don't know why your software can complete shutdown, but my software is still run underground.

@effer your exe is worked on my loptop.
I hope the exe could be put into release

@hznupeter

the exe has a small bug,it can't be closed by close button or exit button

As a data point, since it sounds like there's a working .exe + a few support files pretty much ready to go, it probably wouldn't be very difficult to use something like NSIS to package it into a reasonable Windows .exe. That'd give people a simple install/uninstall process with sane defaults (eg install location).

Hi folks, it would be nice to see bcnc4win with new updated features!
Any progress so far?

Also there's some project called PyInstaller, It looks quite promissing.
Only problem is that it cannot build cross platform, so we need some Windows users to do this for us. I run Linux. It would be nice if we can find someone willing to do this on regular basis. Best case would be if we find somebody, able to automatize this build and publish nightly packages on some website.

@FatNarval thanks. but note that you first have to get bCNC working on your machine, because these packagers will most likely get the needed libraries from your computer.

I've managed to build the .exe, you can try beta here:

https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC/releases/download/0.9.14.29.beta.exe/bCNC-0.9.14.30-beta-git-exe.zip

Build process seems to work well. You can expect similar build to be part of 0.9.15 release.
I am closing this for now. Please let me know if something is wrong. But note that this .exe is built on top of development bCNC version, which might have some problems unrelated to .exe build itself. So please first check that reported problem happens only in .exe version, but not when running in python directly.

Camera feature seems not to work at all .

In Windows 7, when bCNC gui window is minimized to taskbar, while active dialog box/window of bcnc is active, bCNC keeps minimizing itself, effectively preventing itself from using again, until restarting it.

@FatNarval Can you try to rebuild the .exe yourself? If you get non-exe bCNC working, it should be pretty easy to build using make-exe.bat file. Given that you have python and pip in your PATH.
I've been building this on Windows XP. That might be a problem.

Travis now supports running on windows. Currently they don't have python support. But i guess they will add it in following months. That means we will be able to use travis cloud to automaticaly build and upload .exe of each release for us (since it will be possible to run make-exe.bat using travis)

I've just realized that we might not need windows builds at all. We can just compile some kind of loader to that .exe and load the .py files using it... So there will be no need to rebuild the loader as long as there will be no changes to loader itself or the requirements.

Some of the .py files are not compiled to .exe anyway (eg. plugins). So i think it would make sens to not compile any at all.
