PyInstaller example doesn't work with PyInstaller 3.5 on Linux

[vipertecpro]

What went wrong ? I couldn't be able to figure it out, Is there any path, permission issue or am i missing something to upload in this path /opt/lampp/htdocs/cefpython/examples/pyinstaller/dist/cefapp/ where all the build files are.

You are missing CEF binary files.

Thank you so much for quick response. Can you please tell from where i can move to the executable folder ? is it somewhere in the repo. folder path ?

[cztomczak]

What are you doing? There is a pyinstaller example available in the examples/ directory.

README says that it is required to install Pyinstaller 3.2.1 and yours version is different.

[vipertecpro]

Yes I know, it's the latest and updated one, so it doesn't work on the latest version?

[cztomczak]

Looks like it. You could report a bug in PyInstaller tracker.

Check the specs file, the pyinstaller is not finding the custom hook in my case I created a dir in my app pyinstaller-custom-hooks and had to set the path like this in the spec file: hookspath=['pyinstaller-custom-hooks'],
