Just a command runner

[im-coder-lg]

My new feature. @not-nef if you want, I'll make it even for Txt2.

Just is a command runner, like GNU Make, but easier and even with Windows support(make sure you have Git Bash too, it needs sh), so we can now just run simple commands than a long command.

If you want, I can add more scripts(or recipes) too.

And gradients for the site are not inbuilt, we need custom CSS.

[im-coder-lg]

This needs more work with PowerShell and Bash.

[sumeshir26]

NICE!

[not-nef]

What commands is it supposed to run?

[im-coder-lg]

Check the Justfile on my branch!

[sumeshir26]

@not-nef you need to install Just, which is a reallay powerfull command runner. I find it reallay usefull since I made a just script to build a exe

[im-coder-lg]

And it works even on Windows, so it's universal. Make sure you have Git Bash, Just needs a sh shell to work.

[not-nef]

Cool! I dont really see any use for it in txt2. I can have my batchfile execute the one thing i need which is compile an exe

[im-coder-lg]

Yeah, but you can't keep it for long, right? If Txt2 reaches prod, you have to make sure the repo is clean, right? One file to manage all builds would be better than multiple compilation files that should be in the ci folder.

Also, guys I think PyInstaller works properly now. The only issue is that even if Tkinter is installed on macOS or Linux, it doesn't recognize the module. It is rather, a system-level issue or an upstream issue, and since cx_Freeze seems to cause us a bit of inconvenience, I think it's time to jump boats.

I will, of course find a roundabout to use PyInstaller builds successfully on Macs and Linux PCs. Till then, it's best we use PyInstaller for Windows.

[not-nef]

Yeah but i cant make mac builds on windows so i will only need one command and it doesn't really matter if i hav a justfile or one batchfile

[im-coder-lg]

Who said you need a Mac to make Mac builds? Try AppImages, they can be an all-in-one package with an install script. Trust me, it works.

[im-coder-lg]

I found this on Reddit. It is two years old, but I bet it works.

[im-coder-lg]

PS: AppImages work on macOS too.

[sumeshir26]

@im-coder-lg We can use linuxdeploy for the AppData folder

[sumeshir26]

I mean AppDir folder

[im-coder-lg]

There is nothing on Linux called AppDir. If you are talking libraries, the correct path is /usr/lib.

[im-coder-lg]

And anyone know about how to successfully run PyInstaller on Linux without missing dependency issues?

[sumeshir26]

No, to build a AppImage you need a AppDir directory in the project root. Check the python-appimage docs What missibg deps error are you getting?

[im-coder-lg]

Yeah, Tkinter gone. Even though I installed it from the Pop!_ OS APT repos, which means the file can't find the module. I have an idea, I'll try tomorrow. Get some sleep guys.

[sumeshir26]

Try installing from sudo apt-get install python3-tk

[im-coder-lg]

I just did this: sudo nala install python3-tk python-tk tk-dev -y to get all Tkinter files, and I think I know a fix. I'll do it tomorrow, and it's literally 10:21 PM IST, get some sleep.

[im-coder-lg]

I think I got it. Try this command after installing all requirements:

user@host~$ pyinstaller ./main.py --onefile --windowed --collect-data sv_ttk --collect-all tkinter --collect-all playsound --collect-all darkdetect --icon "./assets/logo.ico"

Then move the executable to the directory where the assets are present, then run the executable.

[im-coder-lg]

@not-nef try the same on your Mac Mini too.

[sumeshir26]

And we can use the inno setup CI to build a installer using github avtions

[im-coder-lg]

Oh goody

btw what is this:

https://github.com/Futura-Py/TimerX/blob/b33bced3de0ba13ffe0e14a943f6c4db11a0f374/main.py#L39

no title?

[im-coder-lg]

I need to change some paths of the main.py file for Linux, since we need to add it to the OS, we have to make a .desktop file, and make sure assets are accessible through a share folder. I have an idea, and I know it will work.

[im-coder-lg]

Then, I have to make a script that runs with sudo to move it to the /usr directories and copy the .desktop file to the app list and desktop.
