I am trying to write a small gtk application with Python.
I was told that you should use msys2 for MS-Windows. See related question: Setting up developement environment: PyCharm, python-gtk, windows
Now I need cx_freeze. There are wheel-files for windows, but I guess the msys2 environment is different, and that's why installing "cx_freeze" fails (no gcc around).
See files of cx_freeze: https://pypi.org/project/cx_Freeze/#files
Now I am unsure if I am on the right track.
Is there a way to use the ready build wheels from a python which is started in msys2 (In my case C:\msys32\usr\bin\python3.exe)
Installing cx_freeze worked after installing gcc. But now I get this error:
cx_Freeze.freezer.ConfigError: no base named Console
I guess I should not compile cx_freeze and get my environment use the provided wheels.
Update
I leave this question open, because someone else could find a solution and help someone else again. But I switched from gtk to pyside2 (QT). Everything is much easier now.
