[PY QT APP]HOW TO uniform build and distribution for different platforms

[djibb]

Hi,

I maintain an pyQt6 + Opencv application which works under Linux and Windows.
Actually, we have :

under Linux :
-> deb installer (guy one in charge)
-> rpm installer (other guy)
-> tar.gz installer (other guy)
-> Aur (other Guy)

Under Windows : (another guy, that have a special VM to do this)
-> a cxfreeze protocol
-> a cleaning (down from 200 MB to 80 MB by suppressing duplicate libs)
-> then an innosetup script

BUT... we are lucky : since a couple of week, we can install our application with pip !

Is there a way to standardize installation procedure on Linux or windows ?

Under Linux, somthing like :
1) pip install
2) make a script in PATH that launch __init__.py

Under Windows... the same ? But we don't really know this platform

Does someone has a solution for our problem : How to standardize deploy under all Linuxes and windows as we have a wheel ?

you should read up on packaging.
you can start with Software Packaging and Distribution
