I'm trying to create a .deb installer which saves the binary in the /usr/bin directory, and the external files in the /usr/lib/ directory. The installer works, except the binary is looks for files in the same directory, which of course are not there.
The binary and library files were created with PyInstaller, and packaged with dpkg. I'm not sure if there is a function in PyInstaller that can look for external files (not as far as I can tell), or is this something that can be done in dpkg.
Would a symbolic link work, keeping the actual binary in the same directory as the external files?
python dpkg binary

this is something that needs to be done in your program. modify it to look in the right directory (i.e. under /usr/lib) for its "external" files.

The files it's looking for are automatically generated by pyinstaller, and so is the binary. Sounds like I might be out of luck on this one, unless pyinstaller has an option to look in a different directory but I've been searching for hours and haven't found anything.

if you're making deb packages then you probably shouldn't use pyinstaller. build a deb package instead. maybe usepython-stdeborpython3-stdeb. and maybe usedebdrytoo, which further automates the production of .deb python packages.

I'll check those out. Pyinstaller seems to be very limited. The binary created ALWAYS looks in the current directory for the python library files. I'm also not dead set on creating a .deb package either, I would prefer something that was as "cross-distribution" as possible. But as this is just a supplementary test utility, I've already wasted too much time on it... I'm tempted to just bundle the pyinstaller output in a tarball and just distribute it that way.
