Now, the command retunrs errors : Warning: Can't read registry to find the necessary compiler setting Make sure that Python modules _winreg, win32api or win32con are installed. Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 28, in <module> scripts = ['openfovea-gtk'] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 953, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py", line 189, in run self.create_exe(arcname, fullname, self.bitmap) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py", line 271, in create_exe file.write(self.get_exe_bytes()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py", line 366, in get_exe_bytes raise DistutilsFileError, str(msg) + ', %s not included in the Debian packages.' % filename NameError: global name 'DistutilsFileError' is not defined This error can be corrected by adding the DistutilsFileError in the import section (line 17, of the bdist_wininst.py file). When making so, the error is as follow : Warning: Can't read registry to find the necessary compiler setting Make sure that Python modules _winreg, win32api or win32con are installed. error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe', /usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe not included in the Debian packages. And there is no way to find this "wininst-6.0.exe" in any packages.
