'compiling' ruby code into an msdos exe file

Ruby
1

Anybody done this? I would like to ‘compile’ ruby for packaging
purposes.

I know ruby is interpreted so it will not be easy to ‘compile’.

has anyone done it successfully?

2

There are five or six projects that do this, with varying degrees of
success. The Shoes packager packages up Shoes apps, there’s Ocra,
rubyscript2exe, crate…

Where do I get a working copy of rubyscript2exe…the ones I downloaded
all have errors in them when I run ruby 1.8.7, the level I am at.

Unless you have a good reason to stay with rubyscript2exe, I suggest
you to use the Ocra gem.
