Forum: Ruby Compiling Ruby 1.9.1

Hello, I'm french, sorry for my mistakes.

Some years ago, I used Exerb and Rubyscript2exe to compile my scripts
into one .exe file for Windows.


But they are old, now... Exerb uses Ruby 1.8.6, and the last
Rubyscript2exe's version was on May 2007 (view on sourceforge).

So, if I want to make an exe with Ruby 1.9.1, which tool do I have to
use ?
Does a tool or a tip exist to create an exe for Windows ?


I hope so...

Thanks for your answers.

This is a good question, although I don't see this as a Windows problem
at all (other than the "exe" business). I hope we get some good answers.

I wonder why nobody make this...
Are there another solution to run a Ruby script without having Ruby 
installed on the PC (Windows) ?

Enterbrain made this for his software RPG Maker. With Ruby 1.8.
So it is possible.

Crate would certainly do the trick. However, it's not yet safe and sound 
on Windows. It's still a young project but I would say that it is the 
future.

They probably use Exerb.
