Add Linux tools

[jayvdb]

Results were PyInstaller onefile and Nuitka passed, the others did not, but not much time was invested into trying to debug/correct them.

I tweaked the cwd, and now all except cx_Freeze pass.

Thanks - I'll take a look at this soon.

@anthony-tuininga, is there some voodoo missing to make cx_Freeze work with this example?

[jayvdb]

Also added PyOxidizer which seems to not work for this app due to Qt. ping @indygreg

@jayvdb, I'll take a look but I don't use either macOS or Windows. You can ask @marcelotduarte if he is able to test on Windows or macOS.

For me, all that was missing was the cffi package (implicitly loaded by the cryptography package), so I added a hook for it. You can also use the following setup.py instead:

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

executables = [
    Executable('main.py')
]

options = {
    'build_exe': {
        'packages': 'cffi'
    }
}

setup(name='cx_freeze_mac',
      version='0.1',
      description='cx_freeze_mac',
      executables=executables,
      options=options
      )

[jayvdb]

@anthony-tuininga , when I try that addition to the setup.py, I get

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libffi-d78936b1.so.6.0.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When I use cx_Freeze git master, I still see that error, but with libffi-10449faf.so.5.0.6 instead of libffi-d78936b1.so.6.0.4, but I guess that is irrelevant.

[marcelotduarte]

I have a patch (not merged yet) to catch this error: marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze#494
I can try with my branch to test changing the requirements:
https://github.com/marcelotduarte/cx_Freeze/archive/develop.zip

[marcelotduarte]

And about the change at setup mentioned by @anthony-tuininga, you have to have
includes: '_cffi_backend'
instead of packages: 'cffi'.
This is sufficient.

[jayvdb]

Ok, I got that to work by adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH=build/.../lib . It seems rpath isnt being set for the bin to find its libs automatically. I'll tidy it up and submit.
