Actually I've only used installed on Windows and I don't have any experience with installer on Linux/Unix. All of the python programming I've done with wxWindows has been at work were we are a large NT shop (on the client side). The python programming I've done under Linux/Unix is either non-visual or uses pygtk...

I know that Gordon was using wxPython a lot (last year) and I had no problems creating stand alone wxpython .exes by just running the build scripts. There was nothing more I really needed to do. I did edit the cfg files to add icons and stuff, but that was it...
I started playing with the installer yesterday, and I notice that there
are a lot off libraries that it doesn't copy into the distribution
directory. For example, if I truss(1) the executable that is produced,
I see that it accesses the following shared libraries:
./wxcmodule.so
./zlib.so
./zlibmodule.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXThrStub.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libgdk12.so.2
/usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk12.so.2
/usr/X11R6/lib/libwx_gtk.so
/usr/lib/libc_r.so.4
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2
/usr/lib/libm.so.2
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3
/usr/lib/libxpg4.so.2
/usr/lib/libxpg4.so.3
/usr/lib/libz.so.2
/usr/local/lib/libglib12.so.3
/usr/local/lib/libgmodule12.so.3
/usr/local/lib/libgthread12.so.3
/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libwxPyHelpers.so
Now, many of the libraries are part of the operating system, but it seems
to me that if I want to distribute an executable to a platform that
doesn't have wxWindows installed, I would need to include (at least)
/usr/local/lib/libwxPyHelpers.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libwx_gtk.so
[If I'm wrong, someone correct me].
Now, I don't know much about Microsoft Platforms, but is there an
equivalent of truss or strace in Windows?
