How is calibre packaged

l0o0 · 11-12-2019, 03:39 AM

I am new in PyQt5. Calibre is a good example to learn. There is less knowledge about how to package the code in calibre. On the GitHub, the calibre can be built by a package named `bypy`. There are plenty of instructions about how to use `pyinstaller` to build a binary bundle file. But I like something like calibre, a setup wizard window will display. Maybe someone can give me some hints about how calibre is packaged across Linux, Windows, and macOS.

bypy is used to build calibre dependencies on all platforms. there is no canned solution you can re-use to build the installers. The code to do so is bespoke and all present in the bypy folder of the calibre source tree.
