Comment
1 / 1
When using Cython's --embed
option to create an executable with no console window, you can achieve this by using appropriate compiler options. Here's a general approach:
Install Required Tools:
- Install Cython: Ensure that you have Cython installed on your system. You can use
pip
to install it:pip install cython
- Install Cython: Ensure that you have Cython installed on your system. You can use
Write Your Cython Code:
- Create a
.pyx
file that contains your Cython code. This file will be compiled into a C file and then compiled into an executable.
- Create a
Create a
setup.py
File:- Create a
setup.py
file in the same directory as your Cython code. This file is used to build and compile the Cython code. - Add the following content to the
setup.py
file:
Replacepythonfrom distutils.core import setup
from Cython.Build import cythonize
setup(
ext_modules=cythonize("your_file.pyx"),
options={"build_exe": {"include_files": ["path_to_your_dll_file.dll"]}}
)
"your_file.pyx"
with the filename of your Cython code file. If you have any external DLL files that need to be included, specify their paths in theinclude_files
list.
- Create a
Compile Your Code:
- Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory containing your
setup.py
and Cython code. - Run the following command to compile your code and generate an executable:
This command compiles the Cython code into a C file and then builds it into an executable. Thearduinopython setup.py build_ext --inplace
--inplace
option ensures that the executable is generated in the same directory.
- Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory containing your
Hide Console Window:
- Depending on the compiler you are using, you can add compiler-specific flags to hide the console window when the executable is launched. For example:
- If you are using GCC (MinGW), add the
-mwindows
flag:gcc your_file.c -o your_executable.exe -mwindows
- If you are using MSVC, you can use compiler-specific options or modify the project settings to hide the console window.
- If you are using GCC (MinGW), add the
- Depending on the compiler you are using, you can add compiler-specific flags to hide the console window when the executable is launched. For example:
By following these steps, you should be able to compile your Cython code into an executable with no console window. Note that the specific compiler and options used may vary depending on your development environment and requirements.
