KPMWine

A wine based image to Cythonize, build and package kivy applications for windows using Python3.6.

This could probably work for other applications, but the focus for me is to build kivy applications for windows.

Xvfb is used to be able to import kivy at package time, as well as using InnoSetup (which is available) to package the app afterward.

MingW64 is used to build CPython extensions, (in my case generally created by Cython). I couldn't manage to install vs_BuildTools to do that, and MingW does the job for me.

Make is available to script the various build/package actions.

Git is available because it's generally useful (i mostly have it for "git describe --tag" to ship the release in the app)

The entrypoint just starts xvfb and runs whatever command you put on the commandline.

Example usage:

     docker run --rm -v $PWD:/app tshirtman/kpmwine make

You can create a volume for the pip cache to save time on subsequent builds.

     mkdir /tmp/pipcache
     chmod a+w /tmp/pipcache
     docker run --rm -v $PWD:/app -v /tmp/pipcache:/pipcache tshirtman/kpmwine make

The PyInstaller output should be in dist/

Pkg-config-lite is shipped, and sdl2{,-image,-mixer,-ttf} and gstreamer are installed and configured, which is makes it really easy to build a kivy wheel from it.

     docker run --rm -v /path/to/kivy:/app -v /tmp/pipcache:/pipcache tshirtman/kpmwine bash
     pip install --upgrade setuptools Cython==0.26 wheel kivy.deps.glew
     export KIVY_USE_SETUPTOOLS=1
     python setup.py bdist_wheel

This image is based on the cdrx/pyinstaller-windows:python3 which made it possible at all.
