[newbie] Can REBOL scripts be "packaged" as a .exe file?

 [1/9] from: apwing:zonnet:nl at: 6-Aug-2003 16:55


Hi all, is it possible to kind of compile REBOL scripts to an exe file? Or is it supported as one of RT's payed products? I know that a similar trick could build REXX exe files. In that case the script was tokenized and put together with a bare bones exe file. Arie van Wingerden

Welcome to REBOL, Arie!
> is it possible to kind of compile REBOL scripts to an exe file?
Sort of. The script below "compiles" a list of xxx.r scripts into a binarized xxx.rll files: REBOL [title: "compile script" author: "Sunanda" ] foreach scr [%script1 %script2 %script8][ print ["writing" scr] write/binary join scr ".rll" compress mold load join scr ".r" ] Then, in a header script at the start of the application, instead of writing: do %script1.r use: do load decompress read/binary %script1.rll All comments and unnecessary spacing is removed from the "rll" file by mold load. Sunanda. Sunanda.

BUT I think he meant as an executable binary file ;-) like encap does (in sdk)...
>compile script
[...] cool idea !

Hi Sunanda, that's the kind of thing I was talking about. You also could put the whole set of "compiled" scripts in a .bat or .cmd file and let the first line of it invoke that same file as a REBOL script , so that you can start your app by name, rather than have REBOL invoke it (in)directly.

Grebox is not the only application that does this. You can also use XpackerX for compiling scripts into executables: http://www.marmaladefoo.com/software/xpackerx XpackerX can also be used to compile other scripts into .exe files (perl, python, ....) Best Wishes - Luke
