Does rubyscript2exe still work?

I'm trying to get rubyscript2exe to work. I'm using 1.8.6 on Windows 7 x64 I've been searching around and every tutorial either has different directions then the last or is way outdated and wont work. Could somebody tell me if this gem still works? If it does please point me in the right direction. As of now I'm frustrated due to hours of pointless searching so could somebody please help me? Also, I felt that I should mention that I am still learning ruby and I'm not very advanced yet. So please make any directions basic or easy to follow. Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I believe it is still being supported by the developer, unlike rubyscript2exe which was stopped some time ago. -- John -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

It's broken if you want to use prawn - there's a bug report on this, but no sign of activity. I had to find a patched version of rubyscript2exe because ocra didn't work for me. -- Will

I *think* this is where I got it: http://github.com/cowlibob/rubyscript2exe If you have problems, I can send you the version I have. -- Will

It gives me this error: I typed this in : C:\Users\Mark>rubyscript2exe helloworld.rb Error: C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyscript2exe-0.5.3/bin/rubyscript2exe:5:in `rep lace': can't modify frozen string (TypeError) from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyscript2exe-0.5.3/bin/rubyscript2 exe:5 from C:/Ruby/bin/rubyscript2exe:19:in `load' from C:/Ruby/bin/rubyscript2exe:19 I installed the gem. This is probably something really stupid I missed. Any help? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Maybe you should uninstall the gem to avoid confusion. FWIW, this is how I'm invoking it in my Makefile (for a program called recepsum): recepsum.exe: recepsum.rb ruby rubyscript2exe.rb recepsum.rb --rubyscript2exe-rubyw -- Will

It words, I installed the rb file and directed cmd to the directory instead of using the gem and it works. Now to fix the icon..... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
