## Development
### Building Windows standalone
(still in development)
A [virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#creating-a-virtual-environment) is recommended to isolate the packages from system directories. The build script `make-standalone.bat` assumes that the dependencies are in PATH.
Install the dependencies, plus cx-Freeze. In a virtual environment, the specific Python version doesn't need to be requested.
```batch
pip install cx-freeze -r requirements-win32.txt
```
Run `make-standalone.bat`. This will run cxfreeze and make a standalone version in `dist-standlone`, and copy `TaskbarLib.tlb` and `save3ds_fuse.exe` to it.
