How to deliver a gem with GTK3?

How can I make an independent gem once I have completed a development? do I need to deliver msys2 too?

My environment:

  • windows 10
  • ruby 2.4.5
  • my_gem depend on gtk3 gem
  • msys2
Solution

  • I've put the question directly to the GTK3 developers.

    here is their answer.

    Which means that if you choose to use GTK3 today with Ruby, you have to:

    • Deliver MSYS2 and Ruby with your GEM (more than 1GB package !).
    • Deliver your gem and tell users to install themselves msys2 (with updates) and ruby and your gem with dependencies.
