Convert ruby.rb to msdos exe file?

Ruby

I am rewriting numerous vbscript programs in ruby. Is there a way to
make an exe file that includes ruby interpreter and my .rb into an exe
executable?

Thanks in advance

I don’t think there’s such a thing as ruby2exe. You probably meant
RubyScript2Exe.

But a better idea is: have a look at Ocra. It does the same, except
that it actually works (I had troubles with RubyScript2Exe)
out-of-the-box, it’s still being developed, and you can get it by just
doing gem install ocra.

Ocra:

Works with either Ruby 1.8.7 or 1.9.x

It can package gems that your script depend

over the past 2 years.
