Post subject: | MAking ruby programs dirt-simple to execute? |
I was wondering, if I was to distribute a script, how could I make my script dirt-simple to run, so even a computer ignoramus could figure it out. Basically, I want it to be a one-click procedure. For windows, I could use Ruby2exe, which I would assume is rather inefficient, as it just packages ruby with the script. For mac though, could I add a bash file or something that will execute the script? I found it works fine if I use ruby <filename>.pl to run a file, but when I use #!/usr/bin/ruby and then execute via the terminal, it gives a bunch of errors. chmod 777 does nothing either; as mac will still open with whatever program it has assigned that filetype to. Is there a way to make it a .app? |

Heh, I actually have Shoes. I didn't know it could do that though (I have yet to actually figure it out). Thanks, Tony. Wow, I feel retarded now... |

I know this is a somewhat old thread, but i thought i'd mention that this has gotten me back into ruby. |

Thanks for bumping this, this looks like a really cool library, and probably wouldn't have found it otherwise. [edit] I'm having trouble installing it:
yum search libssl brought up nothing |
