[wxruby-users] Recommended cross platform deployment methods?

[Mark E.]

Hey all,

I'm just getting started with wxRuby but I really like it. I have felt
the joy of writing a simple app (using DialogBlocs & xrcise) and running
it on Windows and Linux. Ahh. Peace.

Oh, and it didn't suck like my experiences with Java doing the same
exact simple app. :)

So, my question is, is there a recommended deployment method for
multiple platforms?

Windows:
I can create a shortcut to run the application with rubyw so no console
window shows up. How can I ensure the correct versions of Ruby and
wxRuby? Can I run it without forcing the user to install either? (Binary
versions?)

Oh, and I know about script2exe for windows.

Linux:
I tested on Kubuntu KDE 4.1.2. The same questions about ruby and wxRuby
versions being installed. How do I create shortcuts to run the
application using ruby with the comparable "rubyw.exe" option.

Thanks!
