Windows C++ devs:

My main project is a Python + Qt GUI application. Distributing that as-is on Linux is easy. On Windows, a little trickier.

What I do now is distribute it with Python embeddable and pure Python code. That's fine, but it makes the launching a little tricky.

I'm currently trying to create a trivial C++ exec that just launches the correct files via CreateProcess().

Does this sound like a good idea? Code linked below.

(By the way, "novelWriter" sounds interesting since I've been looking into Scrivener)

@onghu I mean, I made it in the first place because Scrivener dropped Linux, and for a long time were far behind on Windows so I couldn't use Wine either. 😊
