To convert a Ruby tk script to *.exe

Ruby
1

Hi,

I am building a gui for ruby using Tk. I built one and I would like to
convert that into *.exe file. Can anyone suggest me how can I do
that?
I tried using Ocra, but I was not successful

2

When I tried using ocra I got some error messages. The normal programs I
was able to convert easily without any problem using ocra, but for the
tk scripts I couldnt do so. I have attached the screenshot of error
messages that I got.

What precisely was your problem? I’ve never really had trouble with
Ocra.

Maybe too late but the thing to do is to copy the ruby file you wish to
compile to the C:\Ruby193\lib folder which contains the tcltk directory
and then run ocra there as follows…

ocra yourfile.rb tcltk --no-autoload

… then you can copy the resulting .exe file to wherever you want
afterwards and it runs fine.

For future reference as well, if you want to let Ocra pick up gems which
it doesn’t acquire properly from their “require” statements, you can
check for the “Ocra” constant and deviate. For example:

require ‘watir-webdriver’

if defined?(Ocra)
puts “I’m building an exe!”; b = Watir::Browser.new; b.quit; exit
end

puts “I’m not using Ocra this time.”
