Rubyscript2exe for Unix ?!

Ruby

Hi,

i’m using rubyscript2exe a lot on Windows,
works fine.
Now i want to know whether there is a similar
tool available for Unix also, creating executables
for my rubyscripts ?

Gilbert,

On linux you can use the same Ruby app.

$ruby rubyscript2exe.rb [Rubyapp.rb]

look at: http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/index.html

Which flavor of Unix? (“The Unix” doesn’t exist…)

The bottom line is simple: If FreePascal is available on a
platform, RubyScript2Exe will eventually work.

The flavor is AIX, a commercial Unix derivat by IBM

I tried after creating the exe as usual under Windows
and transfer to AIX, chmod 755, gave me =
Execution permission denied

Maybe it’s just a permission problem, gotta talk
to the admins

The problem is there is no ruby installed on AIX and i won’t get it
installed either.
So maybe i could go via AllinOneRuby ?

Perhaps try ruby2c

No, no, no!

Win32 exes won’t work.

I don’t think you can do anything but install ruby or get another aix
user
to generate it for you.

cross compilation wouldn’t be the way i’d go.
