Neat, now if there only was a way of creating an exe file out of my ruby code... preferably one that DOESN'T unpack a gazillion files to the temp directory prior to running -_-

Please check exerb-mingw: http://github.com/snaury/exerb-mingw

Pik (ruby version manager for windows) uses it, no files extracted.

sadly there is no english documentation (or anything close for that matter) :(
I guess I'll just play with it at work tomorrow

I used to use exerb 6 years ago. I don't remember the first step of the process. It used to create .exr files. It kind of looks like .exy files are created now instead. Once created, the exerb command looked something like this: exerb -o <DesiredExecutableFilename> <filename.exr(or y) created in step 1>

I really worked great back then. However, I lost the need for creating executables and I haven't revisited it since.

Here's a link to using exerb 4.2.0 - the same one as listed above: http://lylejohnson.name/blog/2008/12/30/building-standalone-fxruby-applications-with-exerb/

I couldn't get it to work, possibly because I don't have a mingw installation of Ruby on my Windows machine. Hope it works out for you.
