Makefiles~
01:34
<@Tamber>
I'm glad I've never done anything complicated enough that a small Makefile won't handle it. :x
01:35 * McMartin kinda likes SCons but this may be because he hasn't had to use it for anything.
01:36
<&Derakon>
This is one reason I like interpreted languages~
01:37
<&McMartin>
Getting easily distributable packages from an interpreted language is a PITA too -_-
01:38
<&Derakon>
py2app, py2exe, and a decent package manager for Linux~
01:38
<&McMartin>
Yeah, I've used py2exe and it's a massive PITA.
01:39
<&McMartin>
Also, as of Python 2.6 or so you also need to redistribute stuff that involves (free, but still) sublicenses of extra components from Visual Studio
01:39
<&McMartin>
And to roll your own installer script to make sure all of things are there.
01:39
<&Derakon>
I admit I haven't tried py2exe yet.
01:39
<&McMartin>
It is basically "install python in a directory and have an exe that loads some stuff"
01:40
<&Derakon>
I figured.
01:40
<&McMartin>
And this, if you want it to Actually Work, also involves installing the wackass random version of the MSVC++2005/2008 redist your Python distro happened to use.
01:40
<&Derakon>
2008 for Python 2.7 from python.org, yeah.
01:40
<&Derakon>
It's not Python's fault that Microsoft keeps changing the runtime.
01:40
<&McMartin>
Yeah, but there are about 14 of those, and you need exactly the right one.
01:41
<&McMartin>
And MS does not permit you to simply bundle the .DLLs
01:41
<&McMartin>
But you can mirror their .MSI.
01:42
< sykwerk>
this is why I cry in the corner whenever anything on windows requires python
01:42
<&McMartin>
(It is Python's fault for not mirroring the redistributables or at the very least directly linking the download)
01:43
<&McMartin>
(I'd say "it's their fault for not using MinGW here" but it's not because MinGW is honestly pretty terrible at a lot of things, including producing 64-bit Windows binaries)
01:43
<&Derakon>
Do you know why py2exe needs a compiler?
01:43
<&Derakon>
py2app doesn't.
01:43
<&McMartin>
This isn't the compiler
01:43
<&McMartin>
It's libc.
01:43
<&Derakon>
Oh right, the runtime.
01:44
<&Derakon>
I guess that's just compiled into the OSX Python binaries directly?
01:44
<&McMartin>
That or stuck in Frameworks, since, being glibc and all, you can redistribute it freely.
01:44
<&McMartin>
While you can't do that with the raw DLLs, you *can* do that with the installer, and I do kind of blame py2exe for not handling that edge of things.
01:45
<&McMartin>
But at that point you're at "I demand NSIS integration"
01:45
<&McMartin>
You can also bundle everything you want into a single .exe, which is nice except that it's only doable via reverse-engineering-documented options and the developers freely admit it doesn't actually work.
01:45
<&McMartin>
(It did for Ophis, but I switched it off just in case.)

I've gone from deadline-driven development (which sucks) to "get these damned people off my back"-driven development which sucks a little less.
