Let's suppose that I wrote a Ruby program which is incredibly
interesting, amazing, shocking and of course I want to let a friend of
mine see this wonderful program ;-D
But my friend is a so bad and ugly man that he doesn't want to install
Ruby on his comp
However, I am so earnest that I still want to show my prog to him
anyway.
How can I do this?
AFAIK it's not possible to compile Ruby to an *.exe file (or is it, is
it?) Hence, can I make a "bundle" my prog together with some other Ruby
binaries (which ones?) and send them in a zip file?
Or, as an alternative, perhaps an *.exe file can be built with another
tool such as Delphi, C++ and "some" Ruby files (which files again?)
can be zipped with this "trigger" *.exe file?
BTW, unfortunately these miracles must be done on Windoze. Since I am a
poor Micro$oft user
Check out the wonderful gem rubyscript2exe sounds like exactly that
which you are seeking.

If you can, just invite him to your machine to see it in action. If not, is installing Ruby via the Windows one-click installer (http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl\) that big a deal for your friend? It doesn't get much easier than that (on Windows, anyway), and the uninstaller works.

You spell it "thanks". With a "ks". That's a K, and an S following it. Not X.

If the Ruby program has no "require"s, it can be run in a dos-box
under windhose if the computer has in its path ruby.exe and
msvcrt-ruby18.dll.

Oh, I tried it on a WinXP system but I failed!
Here is what I've done:
1. I downloaded "rubyscript2exe.rb"
2. Made a trivial Ruby prog consisting only a puts "Hello"
3. I also copied a "init.rb" to same directory
4. And typed "ruby rubyscript2exe.rb blahblah.rb"
What did I do wrong? My native language isn't English and perhaps I
misunderstood the instructions on rubyscript2exe's website...

Have you tried running the program without using rubyscript2exe? Does
it work?
I tried rubyscript2exe and it works fine. I have no idea what init.rb
is for since I didn't use one, I just run the program as is and
rubyscript2exe output the exe for me.

As I mentioned before, my native language ain't English (like other
5,500,000,000 people on thiz planet), thus I kannot understand the
phrase "dead pissed". Kould you pleaze eksplain it?
In the English part of the English-speaking world, 'pissed' is slang
for 'drunk', and 'dead drunk' means "completely intoxicated". Why is
all the bad spelling making him drink so much? We may never know...

Neither is mine, and that wasn't a misspelling. Why is it everyone who feels
using leetspeak will make him sound all that rad starts with the "I'm not
English" excuse once someone points out it's merely stupid? The word "thanks"
is so elementary that everyone that can make a complete English sentence can
spell it properly, so I'm not buying that.
