How to build a custom, standalone Find_SSNs Windows executable
specifically for your users.
- Modify the Find_SSNs source
code however you like. You may modify the source code with a
text editor on any type of computer.
- However, a Windows PC is required to build the Windows executable
(32-bit Windows XP is ideal).
- Python and wxPython should be installed, tested
and working on the Windows PC.
- Python should be in your path.
- Download pyinstaller 1.3 to
your Windows desktop and unzip it.
- From a cmd prompt, cd to the pyinstaller folder and run python Configure.py (this step is only
required once at install).
- Place the modified Find_SSNs source code file into the pyinstaller
folder.
- Place a file.ico file in the pyinstaller
folder.
From a cmd prompt, in the pyinstaller folder, run these two commands:
python Makespec.py -F --icon=file.ico
Find_SSNs.pyw
python Build.py
Find_SSNs/Find_SSNs.spec
Now, there should be a folder within the pyinstaller folder named
Find_SSNs. Your Windows executable will be located there. You may
now distribute it.
