I'm using Python 2.6 and cx_Freeze 4.1.2 on a Windows system. I've created the setup.py to build my executable and everything works fine.
When cx_Freeze runs it movies everything to the build directory. I have some other files that i would like included in my build directory. How can i do this? Here's my structure.
src\
setup.py
janitor.py
README.txt
CHNAGELOG.txt
helpers\
uncompress\
unRAR.exe
unzip.exe
Here's my snippet:
setup
( name='Janitor',
version='1.0',
description='Janitor',
author='
John Doe',
author_email='
john[email protected]',
url='http://www.this-page-intentionally-left-blank.org/',
data_files =
[ ('helpers\uncompress', ['helpers\uncompress\unzip.exe']),
('helpers\uncompress', ['helpers\uncompress\unRAR.exe']),
('', ['README.txt'])
],
executables =
[
Executable\
(
'janitor.py', #initScript
)
]
)
I can't seem to get this to work. Do i need a MANIFEST.in file?
Thank you.
