Dependencies copied multiple times on windows

Open cainesi opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug The same DLL may be copied into a frozen application multiple times. I think this was a problem that was previously fixed (#366).

PR #1589 is possibly a fix for this, which would cause all the dependencies to be copied into a single location (the /lib directory).

To Reproduce Build the pyqt5 sample. The Qt5Core.dll DLL gets copied into most of the plugin directories (lib\PyQt5\Qt5\plugins). The multiple copies are unnecessary.

Expected behavior Each DLL should only be copied once.

Desktop (please complete the following information): Windows, using Python 3.9 and cx_Freeze 3.11.1.
