将Cython生成的.c文件编译为exe文件

Question

I'm newbie to python . I want to compile .c files generated by cython into .exe files . now i know there are programs like py2exe or cx_Freeze that can do the same but i want to make standalone executables (if possible) . now when i try to compile the cython .c file into exe using

cl.exe  /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GS- /DNDEBUG -Ic:\Python\include -Ic:\Python\PC /Tctest.c /link /OUT:"test.exe" /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /MACHINE:X86 /LIBPATH:c:\Python\libs /LIBPATH:c:\Python\PCbuild

Compiling with cl as explained in Can Cython compile to an EXE?

I get errors

c:\Python\include\pyconfig.h(68) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:'io.h': No such file or directory

please help

If you just want to create standalone executables I recommend you to use PyInstaller, easily downloadable on Windows (I suppose you are using Windows) by command prompt with:

pip install pyinstaller

(remember to add pip path to environment variables) or on Mac Os X:

we strongly recommend that you install these using either MacPorts or Homebrew.

Documentation here .

Pyinstaller can compile .py files in standalone executables with the following command:

pyinstaller yourfilename.py -F

You can also add --windowed flag to make it a process (to hide console)
