Re: Meld 3.16.4

Ah, that's it.  I had 5.0 installed, once I did "pip install cx_freeze==4.3.3", I got past that issue.  Now it's saying
cx_Freeze.freezer.ConfigError: cannot find file/directory named C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gnome\libgnutls-26.dll

Do we have any documentation of the versions of dependencies to install to build the MSI?  All I found was https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Meld/Windows, which didn't mention installing cx_freeze or python-gnutls.

I was trying to build the Windows installer for this version, with

but it prints
error: error in setup script: command 'build_exe' has no such option 'compressed'

any suggestions?

What version of cx_freeze are you running? looking at the code, it looks like it's changed the option from `compressed` to `no-compress` between 4.x and 5.0. I'm not necessarily averse to updating our setup files to use 5.0 options, but I think we'd have to do that in master, not in the 3.16 branch.

cheers,
