For more details, see the manual.
Experimental ports
- Solaris
- ldd
- objdump
- AIX
- AIX 6.1 or newer. Python executables created using PyInstaller on AIX 6.1 should work on AIX 5.2/5.3. PyInstaller will not work with statically linked Python libraries which has been encountered in Python 2.2 installations on AIX 5.x.
- ldd
- FreeBSD

Before using experimental ports, you need to build the PyInstaller bootloader, as we do not ship binary packages. Download PyInstaller sources, and build the bootloader:
cd bootloader python ./waf configure build install
then install PyInstaller:
python setup.py install
or simply use it direclty from the source (pyinstaller.py).
