I don’t know All in one Ruby, but I think it makes your script into an
executable file? What OS are you aiming for? If it’s Windows you could
try Ocra, that includes libraries just fine (search for it on
RubyForge).

GTK libs and stuff
The Ruby bindings or GTK itself? If it’s enough to include some DLL
files, Ocra should be able to do that, too.

After you’ve installed ocra (gem install ocra) type

ocra --help

and look for the option to include DLL files (I don’t have a Windows
system to test at the moment and can’t remember the option’s name).
Then, copy your DLL file to your Ruby installation’s bin subdirectory.
Finally, rename your rubyscript to have the file extension .rbw instead
of .rb - that avoids the console window. Note that every #puts and #p
now will crash your program unless you redirect $stdout and $stderr to a
file. I highly recommand this, because otherwise you won’t be able to
read error messages when your program doesn’t run as you intend.

$stdout = $stderr = File.open(“YourProgram.log”, “a”)

That’s it - cd into your script’s directory and run

ocra --include-dll yourdll.dll yourscript.rbw

Or whatever the include DLL option is named.

You might want to use JRuby instead, and compile the whole thing into a
Java app.

It’s better than use Ocra?
but i still need a Java interpreter right?
