Iconfile not working with setuptools

General Discussion
1

I’m able to use setuptools to make a distributable app and everything works fine. Now I want to add an icon to the app.

My setup.py looks like this:

from setuptools import setup

OPTIONS = {
    "iconfile" : "models_and_textures/icon.icns",
}

setup( # Parameters of the program go in here
    name = "Game 2019",
    options = { # Build options go in here
        "build_apps" : {
            "include_patterns" : ["**/*.prc", "**/*.obj", "**/*.mtl", "**/*.jpg", "**/*.pnm", "**/*.png", "**/*.ttf", "**/*.egg", "**/*.otf"],
            "gui_apps" : {"Game 2019" : "main.py"},
            "plugins" : ["pandagl", "p3assimp"],
            "platforms" : ["manylinux1_x86_64", "macosx_10_6_x86_64", "win_amd64", "win32"]
        }
    }
)

I used this site: https://cloudconvert.com/png-to-icns to convert a png I have into an .icns file.

When I then run python3 setup.py bdist_apps, the app is successfully built and I can play the full game, but it doesn’t have the icon.

What could be causing this?

(I’m on macOS using Panda3D 1.10.4.1)

I don’t know about the icns option, but I believe that you can include an icon via the “icons” keyword in the options-dictionary that’s passed into the “setup” command. Like this:

setup (
    name = "My Game name",
    options = {
        "build_apps" : {
            "gui_apps" : {
                "My Game Name" : "myGameFile.py"
            }
            "icons" : {
                "My Game Name" : [
                    "icon32.png",
                    "icon512.png"
                ]
            }
        }
    }
)

Thank you so much, it worked!

The only thing is, now it only compiles for macOS.

The setuptools command returns this error:

It makes the build directory and creates a macOS app, but it doesn’t finish the Linux or Windows apps. It also doesn’t get round to creating a dist directory.

5

It’s a known bug, it’s fixed in the dev banch and will be available in Panda 1.10.5 (see https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d/issues/718)

6

Ah right, do you know where I can get the dev branch and can I just install/build it like the current Panda3D SDK?

7

In the past you could find the night builds from the download page but since the website overhaul it’s no longer the case sadly…

You can download and install Panda from the sources but it takes lots of time, see https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d/blob/master/README.md

The Dev branch is release/1.10.x

8

You can actually still build dev builds from the stable branch using deploy-ng by doing this in your requirements.txt:

--extra-index-url https://archive.panda3d.org/branches/release/1.10.x/opt
panda3d>=1.10.5.dev0

Update:

If I use setuptools in the way I’ve been doing until today (no icons and using Panda3D 1.10.4.1), then everything works fine.
If I then change my requirements.txt to:

--extra-index-url https://archive.panda3d.org/branches/release/1.10.x/opt
panda3d>=1.10.5.dev0
numpy

and I use setuptools but still without icons, then again, everything works fine.

Keeping requirements.txt as above, but this time including the icons line in setup.py, setuptools no longer works and I get the same AssertionError. So it seems as though using the dev build still doesn’t solve the icons issue. I can still get an icon on macOS, but it fails when it comes to Windows and Linux.

This is the specific error message:

Actually, you have to install the Dev build using pip and I the updated requirements.txt otherwise you are just shipping the new version of Panda using the old version, hence the bug is still there.

I tried this:

python3 -m pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://archive.panda3d.org/ panda3d==1.10.5.dev32

and got this error:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Developer/Panda3D/panda3d.dist-info/RECORD'

Also, do I keep requirements.txt as it is or should it be different?

EDIT:
So I kept requirements.txt the same and in regards to the EnvironmentError, I just did sudo touch /Developer/Panda3D/panda3d.dist-info/RECORD, then ran the pip command again. This time it said:

Can't uninstall 'panda3d'. No files were found to uninstall.
Successfully installed panda3d-1.10.5.dev32

So I assume it worked.

I ran setuptools again and it seems to have worked. It finished producing executable apps for Windows and Linux, but I won’t know if they worked until I try them out.
