Based on my personal experience, using ocra to package Ruby 2.6.5 is stable. From the error you provided, it seems that the packaging command needs to manually add the corresponding DLL.

OCRA does only work with Windows or maybe Wine. You seem to be using MacOS

Hi @Largo I changed the ticket title to reflect the requirement a bit better.

"problems with ruby 3.1.1 (adding OSX support)"

Having said that, I am open to help out, I have an osx machine I can give access to a person so they can do remote development, or alternatively I can also help testing out the solution on osx once there is something to test.

I think the overlap between ruby people and osx people is big, and if somebody were to make the embedder work for osx, that would probably create a new era of ruby osx applications, which are easy to build and also easy to distribute, a dream for open source and for hobbyists, this is why I think it's worth the time and effort to do the port.

just my opinion, considering every rails tutorial ever always seems to have osx behind it.

Thanks, I'm considering adding it to my fork. ocran

I agree it would be a good feature. I recently made a python app with pythoninstaller and I could create an osx app. Annoyance on OSX is all the security.

I assume that you are aware about Rubymotion (commercial native apps on OSX) and Rubypacker (i have not tried it).
