Ruby Packer: distribute your Ruby code as a compiled binary
I didn't see Traveling Ruby in the linked list. Not sure how active its development is, but it's had activity in the last year: https://github.com/FooBarWidget/traveling-ruby

Do I need to pay to distribute my free software for Windows?
So, the problem I have is quite complicated... I'm packaging a Ruby application. I'm using Ocra for this. What it does is create a self-extracting compressed file containing the Ruby interpreter, any gems and your scripts. This self-extracting behavior is most likely what sometimes triggers the antivirus. Searching for answers in the Ocra GitHub issues, I found posts saying that it will eventually happen and there's no way to definitively fix it. I don't know of any other simple ways to distribute Ruby applications unfortunately.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing traveling-ruby and ocra you can also consider the following projects:
MRuby - Lightweight Ruby
ruby-packer - Packing your Ruby application into a single executable.
minigl - A minimal Game Library built on top of the Gosu gem.
Gosu - 2D game development library for Ruby and C++
gosu - Simple Go-based setuid+setgid+setgroups+exec
