Hi Peter,
If your code require's any other ruby code or externals (eg. the 'tk'
lib), you need to use the two-step process with exerb. This means:
1) use the mkexy module to create a butn.exy "recipe" file like so:
ruby -rexerb/mkexy butn.rb # creates butn.exy
The recipe file is a YAML file that records the dependencies of your
script during the mkexy session. This includes both Ruby code and
required Ruby external modules. A one-step 'exerb' run assumes that
the script is simple and entirely self-contained; the two-step
process is necessary for any really interesting Ruby code.
For convenience, exerb has a 'mkexy' script that does the same as the
above:
mkexy butn.rb
2) Run exerb on the .exy recipe file produced by step 1:
exerb butn.exy # creates butn.exe with the dependencies
built-in
Give that a try; I'd like to hear how it works for you.
