Question about EXE file

Hello!

I made EXE file from my ruby script. And it take a really long time to
launch. Can anyone please tell me if there is any way to increase the
launch speed?

Thank you.

Try compiling it without compression.

I am new to all this. And I don’t understand what you talking about. Can
you please give me some additional information about this?

How did you create an .exe file anyway? And what is a “really long
time”?

What I do know is that my ruby-gnome programs work on windows quite
fine,
at about the same speed as-is on linux (perhaps a tiny bit slower but
that’s about it).

It depends a lot on what the program is doing. If it is not doing much
then the start-up should happen quickly.

Please take a look on this: Problems with using Ocra - Ruby - Ruby-Forum
This is Ruby script that was forced to EXE file via Ocra. It is quite
easy program I think. Ruby script contain Tk library.
Launching time of this EXE file is about 13-14 sec. That seems too much
for me.

Tk on Windows is slow. I think it’s down to the speed at which Ruby’s
I/O file reading works on Windows, and the sheer number of files it has
to load.

Maybe you can advise something faster than Tk fo Windows?

In my experience, a better alternative for Windows GUI programs is C#.
