how to convert waf build system to exe?

i use waf(https://waf.io/) as my build system ,
as not ervey my client want install the python , so I want try to convert it (python+waf+wscript) to exe file ,

first I try the pyinstaller ,

pyinstaller.exe -F waf

it give the error as follows:

D:\CX\wafexample\1_basic\15_Task_rule_exe>waf.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "waf", line 162, in 
wafdir = find_lib()
File "waf", line 159, in find_lib
unpack_wafdir(dir, src)
File "waf", line 59, in unpack_wafdir
f = open(src,'rb')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\XIA~1.CHE\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI158042\waf.py'
[11540] Failed to execute script 'waf' due to unhandled exception!

then i try the nuitka , it gives as :

>waf.cmd configure build
Waf: Run from a folder containing a 'wscript' file (or try -h for the generic options)

this means nuitka convert python+waf to exe , but without the wscript.

can anyone can share how to convert python+waf+wscript to build.exe ? then i can use

 build.exe configure build

to build a project ?

maybe someone is not familiar with waf build, I shorten my question :

how to convert "python a.py b.py" the b.py calls other python file. I want convert all features to a standalone exe file .

thanks !

I know waf, but not nuitka. Just looking through the docs, it seems there's an option to include data files: --include-data-file. I think that's the way to go :)

Good luck!
