Thanks for the tip, I've looked into the doc and made a few searchs, and in the end I've managed to include all dependencies using the "bin_path_includes" property (I set the value to "/usr/lib"). "include_files" seems to be rather dedicated to data files (e.g mostly the images, sounds and fonts used in the game). Anybody would mind trying my Linux build (a Post Compo release of my Ludum Dare entry)? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8347940/A%20Scholar%20In%20The%20Woods%20-%20Post%20Compo%20-%20Linux.tar.gzThanks again in anycase, it was really helpful!

Actually, it works on my computer with Ubuntu, but I had understood that cx_Freeze doesn't include every C extension library, in my case the SDL, which makes the tarball quite dependent of the distro: the game frozen with cx_Freeze would probably crash with a "module not found" message on another platform. Am I mistaken anywhere? I somehow hope so, it'd much easier for me to keep cx_Freeze which already works with Python 3.It's supposed to include all the libraries that the program needs to run, but not standard system libraries like libc. It might not be detecting SDL as a dependency, or it might be misclassifying it as a system library. Either way, you can force it to include a library with the include_files option (see docs at [1]).
If there's a simple way to get it working, you can contribute a hook for pygame to include files that the automatic detection misses.Best wishes,Thomas
