This is easy on MacOS. Write an AppleScript that looks like:

tell application "IDL"
do script " ignoredResult = anyIDLProcedure() "
end tell

compile and save as an application. You are done.
If you want the user to supply arguments (like an input file) try this:

set inputFile to choose file
tell application "IDL"
do script " ignoredResult = anyIDLProcedure( path to inputFile ) "
end tell

If you are not using a Mac, God help you.
