The linker cannot link against the 'z' library :) At my Linux system, that library is at "/usr/lib/libz.a", which comes from the 'zlib-devel' RPM. No doubt Ubuntu has a similar name for the z library. I don't know what you are doing exactly, but it seems to me that a program linked against Linux libraries is not going to work at a non-linux system (much like you cannot run Windows binaries natively at a Linux system). You may need to do the freezing at a Windows system or use a cross-compiler. I would also like to ask your opinion - the programme is very small (only 1.2kb!). Is there another way ? Am I totally wasting my time? Install Python at the Windoes machine, and run shop.py in natively would seem like an alternative. Even with freeze, you are basically installing Python, except it has a different name. Albert ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Freeze utility
Can you recommended any good freeze utility for python to create linux standalone executables, other than the freeze.py ? this script doen't seems to include my .gif images... Thank you. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] freeze
Hey! Good question! I have no idea.
Jacob Schmidt
P.S. Here's a cool setup script for py2exe if you want to try it though.
### setup.py ###
# Run the build process by entering 'setup.py py2exe' or
# 'python setup.py py2exe' in a console prompt.
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import os
def getdir():
current = os.getcwd()
m = 'y'
while m == 'y':
print "Current directory is: %s" % current
m = raw_input("Do you wish to change the directory? ")
if m == 'y':
n = raw_input("What is the new directory? ")
if not n.count(":"):
current = os.path.join(current,n)
else:
current = n
os.chdir(current)
getdir()
listed = []
while 1:
ask = raw_input('What is the file you want as an executable? ')
if ask == 'quit' or ask == 'stop':
break
else:
listed.append(os.path.join(desktop,ask))
os.chdir(uck)
setup(console = listed)
## End of setup.py ###
