Original Code: http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe

RubyScript2Exe compiles your application's Ruby script archive (created with Tar2RubyScript) 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 another machine: the Ruby script, the Ruby interpreter and the Ruby runtime library (stripped down for this script).

You may also be interested in Ocra. A similar project that is actively maintained: http://ocra.rubyforge.org/

== Updated to handle Ruby 1.8.7

require2lib.rb has been updated so that gem specs are now loaded via Gem.loaded_specs rather than via Gem::Specifications.list.

I've released this as it appears the original project is no longer being maintained. Feel free to pull this into any authoritative branch that may exist.

== Building

To build the repository you need to use Tar2RubyScript http://github.com/ryanbooker/tar2rubyscript:

ruby tar2rubyscript.rb rubyscript2exe/
