This project Windows binary is available on release page. BUT I want to build this project Windows binary myself, for reasons.

How to do it? Would you please give me some pointers and requirements?

The release page binaries are built with a slightly modified (to properly bundle certifi SSL certificates) version of py2exe by running

python setup.py py2exe

in the base directory while having requests, youtube-dl, and various other dependencies installed.

An easier way to bundle gallery-dl is to run scripts/pyinstaller.py. See executables.yml for how it is used to build files for https://github.com/gdl-org/builds/releases
