Aihe: Compile stand-alone non-installed ruby

Hi,

Is it possible to compile Ruby so that it doesn't need to be installed
into any one location to be run? So when I write a game with it, I
just let the user install it wherever they want and it runs from
there, and can find its own modules and stuff relative to the binary's
directory location?

Have you taken a look at Erik Veenstra's Rubyscript2exe?

Thanks,

I'd rather do it as a custom job myself, thanks. That will allow adding and removing of individual files after installation.

Also, I need to be able to access data files and stuff.

Also, I'm going to have one 'base' package that when installed, will run all my games. I don't wanna distribute the same stuff with every game, seeing as the games are quite small individually.

So I'd prefer help compiling the interpreter myself, and figuring out some way of setting paths at run-time.

Thanks,
