I want to install PyInstaller
on MinGW
but installing with pip
fails with an error.distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: VC 6.0 is not supported by this module
How do I install it correctly? If this is not possible, what other options do I have? I am trying to build a Python GTK+3 application on Windows from the Linux version.

Have you tried installing the latest version ofsetuptools
? Are you using Python 2 or 3?

I am using python 3.7.1. How do I install the latest version? pip3 says it's up to date (40.5.0)

I'm not too sure what the issue is. Have you tried manually installing it? Like downloading the sourcetar.gz
from here, unzipping it, and runningpython3 setup.py install
.

Ussually if a pip install doesn't work, I always revert to the manual installation.
Steps:
- Download the source
PyInstaller-3.4.tar.gz
file from here. - Navigate to your Downloads folder and unzip the file with
tar xf PyInstaller-3.4.tar.gz
. If your using Windows, you can use 7zip or something. cd
intoPyInstaller-3.4
and runpython3 setup.py install
. Usingpython
orpython3
depends on how you've set up Python on your operating system.
This will install the PyInstaller
module in the same way as pip, just takes some extra steps to perform.
Even though I have it installed now, the executables produced doesn't actually work. The output itError loading Python DLL 'C:msys64homezandimnabuildalibpython3.7m.dll'. LoadLibrary: The specified module could not be found.
EDIT: I can use it with --onefile.

@ShaoyuTseng I always runpyinstaller --onfile --noconsole
to product a single executable with no console window showing up in the background.
