ARTEMIS 3

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). The extreme versatility of this package is the fact that 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 a fresh copy of the git repository.
Choose the target OS in spec_files folder and copy the whole content (except the Artemis_onedir.spec file) into src
Open a terminal into src and run:

pyinstaller Artemis.spec

Copy the src/themes folder into src/dist.
The ready-to-use compiled software is now present into src/dist folder.

Package Building (one-dir, shorter startup time, low portability)

Download a fresh copy of the git repository.
Choose the target OS in spec_files folder and copy the whole content (except the Artemis.spec file) into src
Open a terminal into src and run:

pyinstaller Artemis_onedir.spec

Copy the src/themes folder into src/dist/Artemis.
The ready-to-use compiled software is now present into src/dist folder as a bundle. All the libraries are clearly present.
