pip install pyinstaller under msys2 error

[maryjeck]

First ,Thanks for the developers.
In the msys2 (under win10),i install python3 like this:
pacman -S python 3.7.4-1
pacman -S python3-appdirs 1.4.3-3
pacman -S python3-attrs 19.3.0-1
pacman -S python3-packaging 19.2-1
pacman -S python3-pip 19.3.1-1
pacman -S python3-pyparsing 2.4.4-1
pacman -S python3-setuptools 41.6.0-1
pacman -S python3-six 1.13.0-1

then i install pyinstaller under pip:
pip install pyinstaller
(or pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip )
there was shown this ：
Installing build dependencies ... done
Getting requirements to build wheel ... error

Is there something wrong to me ???

@maryjeck Pyinstaller is working fine for me in MSYS2, so maybe I can help figure out what is different about your setup. Also it looks like someone else on Stackoverflow is having a similar issue.

From a fresh install of MSYS2, I am installing the following packages:

pacman --noconfirm -S --needed \
    git \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-gcc \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-gtk3 \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-pkg-config \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-cairo \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-gobject-introspection \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-python3 \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-python3-gobject \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-python3-cairo \
    mingw-w64-$MSYS2_ARCH-python3-pip

gtk, cairo, gobject-introspection, python3-gobject, and python3-cairo are because I am packaging a GTK app.

Have you tried installing Pyinstaller from within a virtualenv:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install pyinstaller

@maryjeck I haven't heard anything from you, are you still having this issue?
