Error on packpanda

[shimrod]

Hello,

I am trying to use packpanda to create a standalone game.

But I have a silly error, and it is not really one!

D:\pascal\shimstar\clientShimstar>packpanda --fast --dir .

Copying the game to D:\pascal\shimstar\clientShimstar\packpanda-TMP...

I don’t where to go to find more on errors?

Why are you using packpanda on a 1.8 release? packp3d, ppackage and pdeploy are the “current” tools, I don’t know if you can get results with packpanda.

I 've found packpanda in the manual :

panda3d.org/manual/index.php … _packpanda

And it sounds great, because of

On Windows, it uses NSIS, the “Nullsoft Scriptable Install System.” NSIS is incredibly powerful, and very flexible, but unfortunately rather complicated to use. Packpanda hides all that complexity from you, but unfortunately, in so doing, it limits your options.

Packpanda is a utility that lets you create an automatic self-extracting installer for a Panda3D game. On linux, it is capable of creating an .rpm or .deb package. On Windows, it creates an installation wizard, that will look like this

pdeploy produces Windows installers (NSIS-based) and Linux packages as well (and OSX ones).
