 MacRuby has been overtaken by bit-rot and is no longer viable. You may 
 need to move in another direction. Here are a few options:
 1. As another poster in the thread indicated, try RubyMotion, a 
 commercial product developed by the creator of MacRuby that is 
 essentially its successor.
 2. Switch to Objective-C for developing of a Cocoa app with Xcode.
 3. Use Ruby with another GUI toolkit, such as Tk: Ruby has just added 
 support for Tk's latest version, 8.6. Tk works pretty well on the Mac, 
 other GUI toolkits are not well-maintained on the Mac.
 Hope this helps,
 Kevin

Re: [MacRuby-devel] MacRuby application on Xcode

2014-10-23 Thread Eric Christopherson
There's also RubyCocoa:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rubycocoa/files/RubyCocoa/1.2.0/. Note
that the text incorrectly says Looking for the latest version?
Download RubyCocoa-1.0.0.tar.gz (2.8 MB); the newest is actually
1.2.0. It was updated in July and says it works on 10.9; I'm not sure
about 10.10 or Xcode 6.1.

Also, since the subject of switching languages came up, Apple's new
Swift is closer in spirit to Ruby than Objective-C was:
https://developer.apple.com/swift/

Re: [MacRuby-devel] MacRuby application on Xcode

2014-10-22 Thread Christopher S Martin
I believe that MacRuby is effectively dead. You'll want to check out
RubyMotion.

 Hi

 I have Xcode 6.1 installed (6A1052d).  I am new to Ruby and installed
 MacRuby to allow me to use Xcode as my Ruby development environment.

 After downloading and installing MacRuby I tried to create an OS X MacRuby
 project/application using the instructions on this page

 https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/wiki/Creating-a-simple-application.

 But Xcode crashed … twice.  On the new project options window I didn’t
 select
 any App Store Category (is this required?) and then clicked Next, and then
 the
 crash.  I have attached the log file for this crash.

 I can obviously create a source file where I can write Ruby code, but I
 can’t
 seem to compile and run this directly in Xcode.

 Could someone please help?
