Cx_Freeze error while compiling from wine

Question

I have a Linux machine (Parrot OS 4.9) where I am developing a project. I am working on the compiling part of it, and I want to use cx_Freeze for that purpose.

I want to be able to compile both for Linux and for Windows, but I do not have a Windows machine, so I installed Python 3.7 (the python version that my project is written on) and tried to run the setup.py file.

When I do so, I get this output:

F:\Programming\Python\GameDev\VoidShips>python setup.py build

IndexError: list index out of range

However, if I try again from a real Windows machine, it compiles without problems.

This is my setup.py script:

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import sys

version = "0.0.0.3"
modules = ["pygame", "noise", "random", "sys", "pytweening", "pickle"]
files = ["objects/", "scripts/", "textures/", "settings.py", "PhysicsEngine.py"]
outputdir = "C:\\VoidShips" if sys.platform == "win32" else "/home/kolterdyx/PythonBuilds/VoidBoats"

build_options = {
    "packages": [],
    "excludes": [],
    "includes": modules,
    "build_exe": outputdir,
    "include_files": files,
}

base = "Win32GUI" if sys.platform == "win32" else None

executables = [Executable("main.py", base=base, targetName="VoidShips")]

setup(
    name="Void Ships",
    author="Kolterdyx",
    version=version,
    options={"build_exe": build_options},
    executables=executables,
)

This is my project folder:

Project
- objects
- scripts
- textures
  main.py
  PhysicsEngine.py
  settings.py
  setup.py

Is there anything that I'm missing or doing wrong?
