Yes, looks like a problem within cx_Freeze itself. Sorry, I cannot be of more help, I don't use the tool myself. Try asking in the project's mailing list <http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net>, I think you may get more specific help there. (Also, try using the latest cx_Freeze release, this may have been already fixed). -- Gabriel Genellina

Let the distro maintainers worry about that. They will package your code up in the appropriate form, so that the system package manager will automatically ensure that the right dependencies are present. Problem solved, no need to keep reinventing the wheel.

Java doesn't seem to be of much importance in the mass market, it seems to be primarily for corporate use. |
