Possible error: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - C:/home/x/programming/ruby/src/roebe/bin/fiber.so (Errno::ENOENT)

[rubyFeedback]

I am trying to turn one of my commandline executable, in ruby, via ocra on windows into a standalone application.

The project's name is roebe and it is also on rubygems.org.

I start in the directory:

C:\home\x\programming\ruby\src\roebe\bin>

Ok. Next thing I do is this:

ocra roebe

That file exists under bin/ and I am in that directory. You can check that it is also part of the roebe gem as-is by the way, so the file 100% exists.

Some output follow next after doing "ocra roebe":

Ok so far so fine.

Now comes the error:

This is super confusing. Why would ocra look at a file called fiber.so in the CURRENT working directory? That is super-weird. Also, it should check whether such a file exists, and then gracefully exit or notify the user. Right now it seems to not even do a "File.exist?" check or something. But I don't know the internals well enough to comment. I just think it is odd that it tries to query fiber.so from the current working directory. I am in the bin/ directory of my own gem, why should any .so file be there? That makes no sense to me. Can it be that ocra is doing some wrong file query or path query and gets confused in the process?
