Compiling Cx-Freeze under Ubuntu

Question

For the entire day I have been attempting to compile cx-Freeze under Ubuntu 14.04 and had no luck. So I gave up and decided to ask experts here.

What I have

1. Ubuntu 14.04
2. Python 3.4
3. python-dev, python3-dev, python3.4-dev installed (I know this common issue)
4. Sources of cx-Freeze 4.3.3

I tried two ways:

1. install from the sources
2. install by pip

Install from the sources

sudo python3 setup.py install

What I got

a lot of

MyPath/cx_Freeze-4.3.3/source/bases/Console.c:24: undefined reference to `PyErr_Print'
MyPath/cx_Freeze-4.3.3/source/bases/Console.c:24: undefined reference to `Py_FatalError'

and then

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'i686-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

---

Install by pip

sudo pip3 install cx-Freeze

What I got

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

error: command 'i686-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

Storing debug log for failure in /home/grimel/.pip/pip.log

and in pip.log

So, I expect you to help me with this issue and gonna be very thankful:)
