I am creating a ruby gui app with shoes (or green_shoes), but my problem is that I can't find a good way to distribute it to my friends. The App has some dependencies, like activerecord and everything the shoes framework/toolkit needs, and this is a problem for me. The absolutly easiest solution i found was the shoes packager which should do exact what I want: build a single standalone executable for the 3 mayor OS. But (i don't know why), the executable created with this packager depends on an old version of rubygems, so it can't install gems like active_record (which needs at least rubygems 1.3.6) on the target machine. The other option is to use the green_shoes gem, which works similar, but there is no packager i can use, so there would just be the "usual" options to package the app. I spent the last days googling this problem, but found NO viable solution for this. - rubyscript2exe: since i need the current ruby 1.9.2, it's no option for me - ocra: i develop on a linux machine (ubuntu) and want to distribute my app to all the 3 mayor OS. ocra is windows only, so it is no working solution for me. - crate: seems to be dead (and far too complex for me, sorry) - exerb: my japanese skills are very low, i just recognized that it depends on ruby 1.8.7 and wasn't updated for a while. - jruby and its possibilities are nice, but i want to use MRI for some reasons, especially green_shoes which depends on gtk2. So I ask you, what is the ruby way to solve my Problem? TL;DR: develop (green_)shoes app on ubuntu, want to build executable for linux/windows/osx. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
