Creating desktop application in visual ruby

Hi,

I am creating an application using visualruby. I want to make it as .exe
i.e i want to use it as a desktop application so that i can use it
independently. I am using windows.

Could anyone please guide me in this.

Thanks in advance.

There are many options. Personally I use a combination of TCL/Tk and the
OCRA gem in combination with Inno.

Well, you'll want to try out a few different tools and work out the best
one for you, but here's something to get your started:

GUI: http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/

EXE Builder: https://github.com/larsch/ocra

Shiny-looking windows installer: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

I should note that when combining OCRA with Tk, you need to do something
a bit special with the build instruction. The trick is to add all the Tk
directory explicitly. The command looks something like this:

ocra "My Script.rbw" C:\Ruby193\lib\tcltk\ --no-autoload --add-all-core
