Subject: [ruby-talk:26661] Embedding Ruby - scripts + extensions

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out if a way to build a few Ruby scripts and a C++ 
extension into a single statically linked binary.  I don't know if it's 
possible, but if anyone has some hints they'd be mightily welcome!

The basic plan is to store the scripts as static strings (const char *) in 
some C++ code. In main(), I call rb_eval_string() - as there doesn't seem to 
be an rb_load_string() (in 1.6.4 at least) - to evaluate the scripts one by 
one.

So first question: am I mad to try?

If not, then is this the best way to go about it or is there a better way? 
rb2c maybe?

Thanks!

Tony
