Asked by Max D

I want to install cx-freeze for python3, but the build command returns multiple errors and stops.

Why not install from the repositories using apt-get?

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install cx-freeze

Source: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/cx-freeze

Thank you,

Yes, but i need it installed on python3.3,
and the repository installed it for python2 only, i don't get why.
I've already tried to compile from the source you linked, it returns the same error.

OK, I believe the following workaround will solve your issue:

https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/issue/32/cant-compile-cx_freeze-in-ubuntu-1304

So you need to replace the following line in setup.py:

https://bitbucket.org/anthony_tuininga/cx_freeze/src/d9461c3d4ff5c91f0405e1e5993b18bbdc0390aa/setup.py?at=default#cl-79

with this line:

if True:

So the line

            if not vars.get("Py_ENABLE_SHARED", 0):

should be changed to

if True:
