problem creating exe with packpanda

Scripting Issues
1

I am using packpanda to create an .exe
The compilation got this far:

C:Panda3D-1.5.2\nsis\makensis.exe /V2 /DCOMPRESSOR=“izma” /DSMDIRECTORY=“game” /DINSTALLDIR=“C:\game” etc… “C:\Panda3D-1.5.2\direct\src\directscripts\packpanda.nsi”
packing…

The .exe was not created. Can someone tell me what caused these warnings? Thanks

I believe these are common warnings. Did you let the process finish? It might take a while and look like it’s freezing, but it should finish to the end.

I believe it was finished. After a long wait, it took me back to the command prompt <C:Panda3D-1.5.2>
I didnt think anything woul follow this, would it?

Yes, this is normal behavior. For having used packpanda a lot, this is totally normal and your exe is created. Look for it!

OK. I’ll do a search. Thanks very much

I found the file, thanks.
I need some help understanding how to use the other features in packpanda though.
The manual says to use

packpanda --bam # Generate and ship BAM files
packpanda --pyc # Generate and ship PYC files

to create BAM and PYC files and ship them to the end-user.
It also says to use ‘–rmdir’ to remove EGG and PY files.

I’m not sure how to write the command. Do I do these seperately or do I combine them like so:

     packpanda --dir game --bam --pyc --rmdir egg (etc...)

Thanks in advance

Uh, put them all in one command. But --rmdir is not for removing bam and pyc, it’s for excluding certain named directories.

Sorry I was not clear on what wanted.
I wanted to know how exactly to write the command, to remove the bam files and also the pyc.

To remove pyc and bam? That would be:

--rmext pyc --rmext bam

Sounds odd to do that though. Rather, don’t you mean to compile .py to .pyc and .egg to .bam? That would be something like:

--pyc --bam --rmext egg --rmext py

Thanks a lot.
