A suggestion: Strip out comments from *.rb files when packaging When packaging my .rb file into an .exe I get no errors. When trying to run the exe I get the following errors: ===== Error in C:/Program Files/Common Files/Shoes/0.r1134/lib/shoes.rb line 394 | ! compile error myprogram.rb:125: Invalid char `\222' in expression myprogram.rb:125: Invalid char `\377' in expression =====
I finally twigged that it was my comments in my program causing this problem. Stripping out all comments and re-packaging enabled me to build a exe that worked. I didn't managed to identify exactly what characters in my comments caused the problem, but I thought "Why not strip them out automatically on packaging anyway? They aren't needed."
