Project Compiler Tool (PyInstaller GUI)

GUI wrapper around PyInstaller for building Windows executables with: version metadata injection, icon support, and portable packaging.

---

Demo

---

Status: Windows-focused (works great for Windows builds).
Goal: “one screen to ship a .exe + zip” without remembering PyInstaller flags.

Features

• Auto-detect main scripts
• Version metadata injection
• .ico support
• One-file or one-folder build
• Optional launcher creation
• Portable ZIP generation
• Automatic PyInstaller installation (if missing)

---

Quick Start

1) Install requirements

1) pip install -r requirements.txt
2) Run the app
3) python app_compiler.py

---

Usage Flow

1) Select your project folder (or main script)
2) Pick build mode: one-file or one-folder
3) Set app metadata (Optional) 
4) Build
(Export a portable ZIP (Optional))

---

Notes: If Windows SmartScreen complains: that’s normal for unsigned executables. Make a special exception for the build created. Most antivirus will flag one-file executables because of bundling behavior. Same method, create an exception.

---

If your build fails, try:

1) ensure your script runs cleanly before packaging
1) updating PyInstaller
2) running the tool from a fresh venv

Hopefully everything will work accordingly! Don't hesitate to reach out in any case! :)
