The easiest way is to use Microsoft's guide to copy the right architecture of DLL's and include them in your software and make sure the software adds its directory to the PATH for Windows.........
I doubt many people are doing this, but if you want an all Linux dev environment for Windows apps that you have made in Python, then you're probably using Wine, Python and maybe pyinstaller.
The below error happened with pyinstaller and it has a lot to do with how Wine identifies paths/drives vs where you execute python.exe from
Long-story short solution
Never execute python commands from /root because that maps to Wine's default Z:, so any operations performed in /r........
This is sure simple if you follow the guide but it took a lot of hacking around to make this work on Debian/Ubuntu!
Now before you ask why bother running wine and python, the reason is because Python executables are NOT cross-platform. If you run pyinstaller in Linux, that binary will only run on Linux and the same if you do it in Windows. So it is preferable if you have a single environment that you can create Linux and Windows binaries from rather than running 2 separate........
