Radio Signals Recognition Manual
ARTEMIS 3 .SPEC FILES
Artemis 3 .spec files are used by the package pyinstaller (https://www.pyinstaller.org/) to build a single standalone executable (or a one-dir package). Every external dependency is already embedded into the bundle. The interpreter of Python 3 is also included.
Requirements
- Python 3.7.0+
- Pyinstaller
IMPORTANT: To generate the standalone and the one-dir package, you must use an operating system that coincides with the target one (pyinstaller doesn't allow cross-compilation).
IMPORTANT (LINUX COMPILING): The executable that PyInstaller builds is not fully static, in that it still depends on the system libc. Under Linux, the ABI of GLIBC is backward compatible, but not forward compatible. So if you link against a newer GLIBC, you can't run the resulting executable on an older system. The supplied binary bootloader should work with older GLIBC. However, the libpython.so and other dynamic libraries still depend on the newer GLIBC. The solution is to compile the Python interpreter with its modules (and also probably bootloader) on the oldest system you have around so that it gets linked with the oldest version of GLIBC.

Package Building (standalone aka one-file, high portability, suggested)
- Download/clone the git repository.
- In the
spec_files/<your OS>folder open a terminal and type
pyinstaller Artemis.spec
- An Artemis executable should be produced in the
dist/folder. Thebuild/folder can be deleted.
Package Building (one-dir, shorter startup time, low portability)
- Download/clone the git repository.
- In the
spec_files/<your OS>folder open a terminal and type
pyinstaller Artemis_onedir.spec
- An Artemis executable should be produced in
dist/Artemis/. Thebuild/can be deleted.
You can save a copy of the executable in a folder of you choice. At startup it will ask you to download
the database and also warn you that the themes folder is missing. To avoid this,
copy src/Data and src/themes in the folder containing the executable.
