## If you would look what has been discussed in several threads in the last two days, you would have found what to do.

gem install ocra

## ocra yourscript.rb

Do this in a command line:  
gem update --system  
gem install ocra  
cd “X:\path\to your\script’s directory”  
ocra yourscript.rb

That

1. updates your RubyGems software
2. installs the ocra gem
3. Changes your working directory to your script’s directory
4. Compiles your script to an executable file.

I’m also interested in this.  
Can ocra handle the complicated scripts?  
For example, a ruby script which includes many external libraries.

Thank you.

ocra looks very interesting.

Another approach I’ve seen is [http://rawr.rubyforge.org/](http://rawr.rubyforge.org/), which  
outputs suitable files for Windows, Java, and OS X from JRuby. I  
haven’t used RAWR, but that’s what the page says.

I would wonder if not. ocra compiles much better than the old  
rubyscript2exe, so many external libraries shouldn’t be the problem.  
When I’m working on my Windows Vista and creating GUIs with wxRuby it  
handles that just fine (but most of my time I’m working on Linux Ubuntu,  
so I may be not up to date…). As far as I know, ocra has an option to  
include DLLs as well. So, just try it!
