Windows 11 - build.sh throws error bout not finding pyinstaller. Solution inside #3

If you are using git-bash on windows 11 and you get the error that pyinstaller does not exist then try changing the build.sh to the following content

pip install pyqt5 pip install pyinstaller python -m PyInstaller gui.py -F -w -n "iDotMatrix Controller" -i idmc.ico --distpath ./

For some unknown reason it seems PyInstaller can't be accessed any other way. I could build the gui that way

Nevermind. Still can't run the GUI on windows. I mean, I can run it, but the console shows an error that PIL is not known. I manually installed Pillow... but the error remains

I also had to open cmd as admin and install Pillow and idotmatrix like this

pip install --upgrade Pillow pip install --upgrade idotmatrix

Now I was finally able to run the GUI and add a device :)
