Hi,
I just create a simple WxRuby app and then try to turn it into .exe file
using Ocra. The code is something like...
require ''wx''
class SimpleApp < Wx:App
def on_init
Wx::Frame.new(nil, -1, "Simple App").show()
end
end
SimpleApp.new.main_loop
However, the exe file from Ocra is quite big, about 5.45 Mb. I think it
is because Wx requires many dependencies so that make this result.
BTW, Is there any way to reduce file size of this exe ?
Wut

[wxruby-users] how to reduce size of .exe file got from ocra
Wut ''sup? I don''t think so, since the ''require ''wx'''' line loads all of WxRuby. I think you''ll find that if you write a very elaborate ruby code, along the lines of 300KB in size, the .exe will not change much. But if I''m proved otherwise, by all means ignore me. - hameed On Tue, 2010-11-09 at 09:08 +0100, Worrawut Poonsuk wrote:> Hi, > > I just create a simple WxRuby app and then try to turn it into .exe file > using Ocra.

[wxruby-users] how to reduce size of .exe file got from ocra
I believe the exe will be much more than 300 KB in size, since exe files include all library it need, and Wx is not a very small one. about 5 mb is normal I have used ruby script2exe before and the result is way bigger than 5 mb so yours is fine, really On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 8:35 PM, Hameed Gifford <giff.h92 at gmail.com> wrote:> Wut ''sup? > > I don''t think so, since the ''require ''wx'''' line loads all of WxRuby.

[wxruby-users] how to reduce size of .exe file got from ocra
when I do >ocra very_simple_app.rb, then ocra compile and the trace looks something like.. ... ... a lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-mswin32-60/samples/treectrl/icon4.xpm a lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-mswin32-60/samples/treectrl/icon5.xpm a lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-mswin32-60/samples/treectrl/treectrl.r b m lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-mswin32-60/samples/xrc a lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-mswin32-60/samples/xrc/samples.xrc a lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-mswin32-60/samples/xrc/xrc_sample.rb e RUBYOPT -rubygems e RUBYLIB e GEM_PATH <tempdir>\gemhome p <tempdir>\bin\ruby.exe ruby.exe "<tempdir>\src\very_simple_app.rb" === Compressing === Finished building very_simple_app.exe (5720630 bytes) I think I don''t need to load such dependencies like /samples, etc... I look into ocra document again and found that ocra will load all dependencies describe in manifest file of the required gem(or source file). So that I should be able to reduce size by modify the manifest of my wxruby. But the problem is, I cannot find the manifest file in the /lib/ruby/gem/1.8/gems/wxruby-2.0.1-x86-mswin32-60/, cann''t find it from the root of ruby path as well :P How can I address ? Any suggestion, pls? Wut -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

what about move your samples directory somewhere and try again? perhaps that would do the trick?
