Austin or anyone,
How do you load a resource file after packaging it into the .exe using
exerb? It's a string file that I named myfile.rb and included in the .rbc
as 'script myfile.rb'. Exerb seemed to package it into the .exe just fine.
Later when I run the .exe, my main Ruby script tries to open the resource
file using File.open, but it just gave me an error saying the file wasn't
found. Load also didn't work for me. The only thing that seemed to find
the file was 'require myfile'. It found the file but then bombed because
it tried to interpret it as a ruby script, which it isn't. It's an ascii
resource file.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Hitesh

You will need to encode the icons as Ruby data first. The following script
should stringify the data:
ARGV.each do |icon_file|
data = File.open(icon_file, 'rb') { |f| f.read }
out_name = icon_file.sub(/#{File.extname(icon_file)}$/, '').upcase
out_file = icon_file.sub(/#{File.extname(icon_file)}$/, '.rb')
File.open(out_file) { |f| f.puts "#{out_name} = #{bytes.inspect}" }
end
(I say should because I haven't tested this version. It's based on an
earlier version that used constant values for icon_file, out_name, and
out_file.)
