[ANN] RubyScript2Exe 0.4.3

[Erik Veenstra]

I just released RubyScript2Exe 0.4.3.

RubyScript2Exe transforms your Ruby script into a standalone,
compressed Windows, Linux or Mac OS X (Darwin) executable. You
can look at it as a "compiler". Not in the sense of a
source-code-to-byte-code compiler, but as a "collector", for it
collects all necessary files to run your script on an other
machine: the Ruby script, the Ruby interpreter and the Ruby
runtime library (stripped down for this script). Anyway, the
result is the same: a standalone executable (application.exe).
And that's what we want!

CHANGES:

* Enhanced the support for RubyGems, again... I now use the
real RubyGems, instead of a fake one.

[Glaucio Melo]

whats the size of this application.exe?? Is it too big?

King regards..

Glaucio.

 

[gregarican]

That would depend on what libraries your script requires...

 

[Erik Veenstra]

whats the size of this application.exe?? Is it too big?

_too_ big? That depends on your limit...

A typical hello world program is about 700K, using Ruby 1.8.2
on Windows. This gets bigger if your application uses more
libraries. Especially graphics libraries are expensive...

Is that _too_ big?... ;]

RubyScript2Exe transforms your Ruby script into a standalone,
compressed Windows, Linux or Mac OS X (Darwin) executable.

i'm using MacOS X and i wonder if any one did, successfully, build a
RubyCocoa* app with RubyScript2Exe ???

that's to say embeding :

the RubyCocoa framework

and also RubyAEOSA for applescripting.

i'm using MacOS X and i wonder if any one did, successfully, build a
RubyCocoa* app with RubyScript2Exe ???

that's to say embeding :

the RubyCocoa framework

and also RubyAEOSA for applescripting.

I did a first test with that kind of prob :

/opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in
`require__': no such file to load -- generate_yaml_index.rb (LoadError)

because of a :

require 'yaml'

in a rb file

any workover ?

and, if i want to launch this app, i get :

./MacSOUPSwitcher_darwin

/tmp/eee.MacSOUPSwitcher_darwin.2/bootstrap.rb:39:in `delete': wrong
number of arguments (0 for 1) (ArgumentError)
from /tmp/eee.MacSOUPSwitcher_darwin.2/bootstrap.rb:39
from /tmp/eee.MacSOUPSwitcher_darwin.2/bootstrap.rb:38


getting info about this app :

./MacSOUPSwitcher_darwin --eee-info

APPNAME : MacSOUPSwitcher_darwin
NUMBER OF ITEMS : 72
LENGTH OF GZ-FILE : 2559588
EEEEXE : eee_darwin
TEMPDIR :






PS : it seems that both RubyAEOSA and RubyCocoa have been included in
the embeded app "MacSOUPSwitcher_darwin"

following :

ruby ~/bin/rubyscript2exe.rb --rubyscript2exe-verbose MacSOUPSwitcher

Stupid question: the web site suggests using both Tar2RubyScript and
RubyScript2Exe together. Does this mean that RubyScript2Exe by itself
is not capable of handling Ruby programs made up of multiple files?

True. The next big thing on my list is to be able to do a
"rubyscript2exe dir/", which transforms not only the script,
but the whole application.
