What OS are you aiming for? If it’s Windows you could try Ocra, that includes libraries just fine (search for it on RubyForge). > GTK libs and stuff > The Ruby bindings or GTK itself? If it’s enough to include some DLL > files, Ocra should be able to do that, too. Marvin ---

Then, copy your DLL file to your Ruby installation’s bin subdirectory. Finally, rename your rubyscript to have the file extension .rbw instead of .rb - that avoids the console window. Note that every #puts and #p now will crash your program unless you redirect $stdout and $stderr to a file. I highly recommand this, because otherwise you won’t be able to read error messages when your program doesn’t run as you intend. ## $stdout = $stderr = File.open(“YourProgram.log”, “a”) ## That’s it - cd into your script’s directory and run ## ocra --include-dll yourdll.dll yourscript.rbw Or whatever the include DLL option is named.
