Hello Greg,

Hello, I thought I'd take a minute to introduce myself. I've seen a
few posts of people having trouble building, but wanted to report
that it went clean for me right off the bat. There's a few test
failures and errors though.
rake spec:ci
Finished in 156.295783 seconds
1553 files, 6256 examples, 18175 expectations, 8 failures, 134 errors
I pulled from the macruby-mirror github repo John-Paul Bader posted
today.
I think these errors are because you did not install MacRuby before
running the specs.
This is a temporary problem with C extension bundles, they must be
installed before we can run their specs.
Hopefully this will be very soon fixed.
For starters, are those test failures/errors to be expected? If so,
is the easiest way to get my feet wet to tackle some of those? Any
in particular I should avoid because of the complexity for a newbie,
or that someone else is deep into?
My pedigree, in case that helps anyone nudge me in the right
direction: taught myself BASIC in Jr. High, Apple II assembler in
High School, C during college pursuing a Physics degree, first job
in Newtonscript, Java (for a long time, too long), bought Pickaxe
the hour it was released <g>. Lately I'm been directing my career
more towards Ruby and Javascript. Last year was almost all Rails.
I live in the Dallas area. I'm a husband and father, so my free time
would not be considered copious, but I'm excited about MacRuby and
will make time to help.
Very glad you like the project :-)
There are various ways to help the project: writing documentation
(tutorials), creating or porting code examples, finding & reporting
bugs (and possibly with a patch :-)), helping passing all RubySpecs,
contributing missing features to the VM/compiler, etc.
Let us know what you prefer to do and we can surely find you work :-)
Laurent
