Title: Compiling RetroFe Windows
Post by: hiorik on June 10, 2020, 10:04:42 PM: Hello, I hope everyone is well.

I have a problem when compiling RetroFe, I get all the files, except the most important of all: retrofe.exe. I attach an image of the error for anyone who can help me, thank you in advance.

C:\retrofe>python Scripts\Package.py --os=windows --build=core
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Scripts\Package.py", line 140, in <module>
shutil.copy(src_exe, core_path)
File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 139, in copy
copyfile(src, dst)
File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 96, in copyfile
with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\retrofe\\RetroFE\\Build\\Release\\retrofe.exe'

Hi, the double slashes at the end, it's just the way the system shows a path for the file I can't find.

BTW thanks for the reply.

No, I don't skip compile process, It even happens to me in Linux. I attached a txt with the records (Linux).

Thanks in advance.

Post by: Pieter Hulshoff on June 13, 2020, 09:41:34 PM: Yes, but the reasons aren’t the same. On Linux, you don’t compile retrofe.exe, so it’s logical the Python script can’t find it.
