| 11 | +## Package app |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This is an example of using [PyInstaller](http://www.pyinstaller.org/) |
| 14 | +packager to build executable from one of CEF Python's examples |
| 15 | +(wxpython.py). Only Windows platform is currently supported. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +To install required packages type: |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | +pip install --upgrade pyinstaller pycrypto |
| 20 | +``` |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +To package example type: |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | +python pyinstaller.py |
| 25 | +``` |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## When it succeeds |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +If packaging succeeds you should see "dist/cefapp/" directory open |
| 31 | +in explorer on Windows. In there you will find "cefapp.exe" executable |
| 32 | +that you can launch. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Fatal error |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +If there is a "Fatal Error!" message box appearing when running app |
| 40 | +then see the next section for how to debug app. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## Debug app |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +In case of a fatal error to debug app pass "--debug" flag when |
| 48 | +packaging app: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | +python pyinstaller.py --debug |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +After packaging completes on Windows it will open a new CMD window |
| 55 | +and run the cefapp.exe inside it. You should see detailed logs |
| 56 | +in console like these: |
