Build

Windows packaging for the customer desktop app.

Layout

build/
  customer/
    entry.py                 # frozen entry (no source chdir)
    orisys-customer.spec     # PyInstaller onedir spec
    build.ps1                # create/reuse .venv-build and build
  _pyinstaller/              # PyInstaller workpath (gitignored)
dist/
  OrisysCustomer/
    OrisysCustomer.exe
    config/                  # lean locales + sensors (no finger visualization/)
    _internal/               # Python, PyQt5, opencv-headless, orisys, …

Prerequisites

Windows + Python 3.10+ on PATH
orisys installable into the build venv (pip install orisys>=0.5)
Do not install orisys[gui] / Open3D for this build

Build

From build\customer (recommended):

build.bat
build.bat -Clean
build.bat -SkipInstall

Or from repo root:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\build\customer\build.ps1

build.bat always resolves build.ps1 next to itself (cwd-independent) and forwards flags.

Flags:

Flag	Meaning
`-Clean`	Pass `--clean` to PyInstaller (use after dep/spec changes)
`-SkipInstall`	Reuse packages already in `.venv-build` (faster iteration)

Output: dist\OrisysCustomer\OrisysCustomer.exe

Dependency notes

App shared dep uses opencv-python-headless (PyQt owns the GUI).
Upstream orisys may still declare opencv-python. build.ps1 uninstalls that wheel and installs opencv-python-headless>=4.10,<5 (5.x has shipped broken wheels without a cv2 module). The script verifies import cv2 before packaging.
Open3D is excluded (spec + build env). Finger 3D remains a placeholder in the UI.

Size / startup

onedir (not onefile): faster cold start; ship the whole OrisysCustomer folder.
Finger assets/visualization/ is stripped from the shipped config/ (~11 MB saved).
Customer shell defers OpenCV / acquisition imports until Preview or Run.

Expect hundreds of MB total (Qt + numpy/scipy/numba + OpenCV). Without Open3D this stays smaller than a full orisys[gui] bundle.

Verification

Launch OrisysCustomer.exe on the build machine (and ideally a clean PC without Python).
Theme / locale / prefs work; preference.json and outputs\ appear next to the EXE.
Camera preview + box/mini/finger Run (video) with image modes and force plots.
Confirm no open3d* files under dist\OrisysCustomer.

Editable run (unchanged)

$env:PYTHONPATH = "D:\repo\orisys-app\shared\src;D:\repo\orisys-app\apps\customer\src"
python D:\repo\orisys-app\apps\customer\run.py
