[BUG] build-exe-docker.sh script creates an unfunctional EXE #4

Closed vitor251093 closed 5 years ago

Before being compressed into the self-extracting EXE, the EXE generated by cx_Freeze seems to be unfunctional, crashing just after starting, with the error:

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

We still don't know the exact cause.

The matter is that you can't generate a Windows EXE in a non-Windows system with cx_Freeze. Since cx_Freeze does not recommend the use of Wine, we used pyinstaller running in Wine inside a Docker.
