Distributing ruby application as standalone in linux and windows

deployment, ruby, software-distribution

Solution

Have a look at this link where several options are offered to distribute a Ruby script as a "native" executable.

Keep in mind that Linux users usually do not need this, `bundle install` and `ruby myscript.rb` is enough on those systems.

Problem

I have developed ruby application (desktop application) on version 1.9.1 with few gems(qtbindings). Now i would like to distribute my application to users as stand alone.I would like to distribute my application as stand alone in linux too. What is the best gem/script for doing this job.
