rubyscript2exe error message

[Gavin Chen]

First I used "gem install reubyscript2exe" to install

When I use "rubyscript2exe file.rb" it will show below error message

C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/rubyscript2exe-0.5.3/bin/rubyscript2exe:5:in
'replace':can't modify frozen string (TypeError)

from
C:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyscript2exe-0.5.3/bin/rubyscript2exe:5

from C:/Ruby187/bin/rubyscript2exe:19:in 'load'
from C:/Ruby187/bin/rubyscript2exe:19


And I used reubyscript2exe on Hello.rb(just print "hello")

it also show the same error message as above.


How do I fix the error message?

Thanks.

I personally don't have a solution for rubyscript2exe gem, specially
since hasn't been an update to it since 2007.

You might have better results using Ocra:

http://ocra.rubyforge.org/

Which supports latest version of Ruby (1.9.x) and works perfectly with
latest version of RubyGems.

HTH,

Don't use it. It won't work with any recent version of Ruby.

HTH,

I used ocra and can succeed convert script to exe file.
It is very easy to use.

Thanks.

I click the exe file directly why does it just only show a few seconds
and disappear very quickly.


Does it just only can use by windows command-line? Or I should add some
condition on the script?


Thanks.

I click the exe file directly why does it just only show a few seconds
and disappear very quickly.

That is because is a console application. Console application that
terminate immediately cause that flick when open.

If you created a command line application, then I would suggest you
open a command prompt before calling your program.

If you actually created a GUI based application, then I suggest you
read Ocra documentation about usage of GUI mode so there is no console
displayed when you double click the application.

Does ocra work with prawn now? Last I knew, it didn't, which made it useless
for my work. (I went back to rubyscript2exe.)

Ocra will only bundle in the executable files that were #require or
#load on them.

If your files for prawn are using #read or similar, you will require
to indicate that additional files need to be added.

I believe this is covered in the documentation:

http://ocra.rubyforge.org/

And if not, then Ocra Issue tracker is your friend:

Which, btw, this might be related to your case:

The script not only use on windows but also want to use on Linux.

How to create the binary file(such as exe file on win) on linux.
