Hi Everyone,
I have searched the web but have not found a good explanation on how
to use
gems in a MacRuby project. Is there a tutorial I am missing?
We should definitely write a tutorial about that. The RubyGems
support is pretty new so I don't think anybody tried yet to embed
gems in a MacRuby app. At a glance I believe it would be a matter of
installing the gem inside MacRuby.framework, embed it in the app
then change the GEM_HOME environment variable.
Laurent
Oof. Changing the framework? Maybe I'm not understanding what you're
suggesting. Why would it not be enough to install all gems in a
vendor/ directory and change GEM_HOME to there? Or something that
would not involve embedding (eventually) all gems in use in all apps
you're developing inside the MacRuby.framework...
Steve
Steve, you should be able to install the gem(s) and require them in
the relevant file(s). You shouldn't have to unpack the gem(s) into
a vendor directory because they should be visible to the Ruby
environment after you require it.

Conrad--
I guess I'm thinking of a case where you didn't want to rely on a
particular gem being present on a target machine -- say for an app you
were distributing. Naturally, the GEM_HOME built into MacRuby is just
fine on *my* machine. But, if I give the app to someone else who may
not have a particular gem installed, boom!
