Title Body

Is it possible to compile a ruby script into an .exe on Windows? I have searched everywhere and I've tried the following (It looked like RubyScript2EXE, Shoes and Crate all seemed dead or abandoned.): http://ocra.rubyforge.org/ http://exerb.sourceforge.jp/index.en.html I'm using Ruby 1.8.7 on Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit.) from a clean system I do this: Install RubyInstaller 1.8.7-p358 from rubyinstaller.org gem install watir gem install ocra git clone git://github.com/snaury/exerb-mingw.git cd exerb-mingw ruby setup.rb I have a fairly simple script that does this: require 'rubygems' require 'watir' browser = Watir::Browser.new browser.goto 'http://slashdot.org' When I run Ocra I don't get any error messages, and nothing happens: ocra --output test.exe test.rb === Loading script to check dependencies Exerb seems like a better solution since it compiles to rbc, and it does actually do something: ruby -r exerb/mkexy test.rb # Window pops up and after I close it it writes out test.exy C:\Users\jonathan\dev\Citation>exerb test.exy C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/exerb/recipe.rb:146:in `add_file_entry': test. exy: no such file -- C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-api-1.4.8-x86-mingw32/lib/win32/ruby18/win32/api.so (RuntimeError) from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/exerb/recipe.rb:86:in `create_archive' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/exerb/recipe.rb:85:in `each' from C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/exerb/recipe.rb:85:in `create_archive' from C:/Ruby187/bin/exerb.bat:67:in `main' from C:/Ruby187/bin/exerb.bat:196 So it can't find win32/api.so. When I look in C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.
