Compiled version for Windows?

[rayman3003]

Can we have a compiled version of negar-gui in release section for Windows?

[javadr]

In which platform?

[rayman3003]

Windows

There are two points: 1- The standalone binary file would be around 80MB since it needs Qt GUI. 2- I have no Windows!

If you can handle the first issue, I'll manage the second one.:smile:

Yeap that's OK.. Thank u. 👍😅

But how much time would it need to compile the whole binary each time? (asking since you mentioned Qt GUI, because Telegram Desktop also uses Qt libraries and it takes around 2 hours to compile)

Perhaps we can setup a GitHub action (Continuous Integration) on the repository and it builds binaries and uploads Artifacts to repository's release page on each git push.

Making a binary on my Linux (with SSD) takes more than 20 mins, see below:

________________________________________________________

usr time   40.94 mins    0.00 micros   40.94 mins
sys time    0.89 mins  483.00 micros    0.89 mins

I think because of this, I've ignored making a binary version. BTW, your idea seems more feasible. Thanks

negar-gui is a good unique app; & I'm sure windows users will love it. Since a good-working right-to-left language supporting unicode text editor, is hard to find in windows platform.

@javadr I can help on adding the GitHub action and release process; would you please tell me which commands did you use to build the binary?

[javadr]

@ALiwoto Thank you. I've tested two approaches: 1. nuitka, and 2. pyinstaller. I think it would be better to talk about that in person. See you next week.

@ALiwoto Is there any new update?
