I am trying to create a binary from a python,flask and boto3 app. I am having trouble running the pip install cx_Freeze command too work. I am getting the following error :
It seems to be not fetching the right system libraries. Also, can anyone suggest any tools to package python apps into binaries?

Just do
sudo apt install zlib1g-dev
I was trying to install cx-freeze to convert some python code to an exe but the problem was /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz just like you. The file being fetched is compressed (cx_Freeze-5.1.1.tar.gz) so you need zlib. Of course use pip3 for python3.
pip never installs system libraries, it only concerns itself with Python libs.
It seems you need to install zlib before installing cx_Freeze.
Another tool to generate binaries is PyInstaller.
