Hey All,
This is my first post to this list so I should introduce myself. My name is Steven Canfield I've just graduated from a Master's program in Computer Science and am doing iPhone development as my day job. I've found the MacRuby project intriguing since it was announced (and helpful in my last semester) so I'm ready to start giving back.

Hi Steven,

Glad to hear it!  We can always use more volunteers around here.

I've checked out the experimental branch and am trying to work through some of the spec tests from

http://github.com/alloy/mr-experimental/blob/master/spec/README.rdoc

However, I can't get MacRuby to actually build. Right now I am using revision 2088 of the experimental branch. When I try to build (using 'rake'), I get Assertion failed: (ee != NULL), function RoxorCore, file vm.cpp, line 208.
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (): [../../miniruby -I../.. -I../../lib - r rbco...]
[ ... ]

Hmmm. Well, I can't reproduce your results on 0.6 (and I've been building MacRuby on that release for awhile), so let's first make sure you're really working with the same bits I am, and also building / installing said bits in the same way. I'm also going to talk SVN URLs here because that's where the "master bits" are and I can't speak to any sources cloned over into git-land since I don't use git, nor am I particularly clear on how often those bits are sync'd.

For LLVM:

http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk (revision 72741)

Being built/installed like so:

./configure
UNIVERSAL=1 UNIVERSAL_ARCH="i386 x86_64" ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1 make -j4
sudo env UNIVERSAL=1 UNIVERSAL_ARCH="i386 x86_64" ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1 make install

For MacRuby:

http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/ruby/MacRuby/branches/ experimental (at revision 2092 when I ran my test)

Being cleaned/built/installed like so:

# First, clean out all the old cruft from any previous MacRuby Build
rake clean
rm -f miniruby *.a *.dylib macruby enc

# To build / install:
rake ; rake install

If all that fails for you, then maybe you have the DevTools mis- installed on your 10.6 box? Email me your build information directly, off this list, and we can also make sure your environment is 100% kosher.

Thanks,

- Jordan
