Hi all, I have a couple of questions which I have attempted to answer to no-avail. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction (Quite new to OS X development so my apologies if it is mealy my incompetence that has lead me here.)
1) I am looking into using MacRuby and am interested in it's ability to AOT compile ruby code down to an executable. I am wondering though whether this places a restriction on the code in any way? Is there a subset of ruby which is supported or can i go ahead and perform all the meta-magic i want and still have the code AOT compiled? 2) I am also interested in targeting both 10.6 and 10.5 with any applications developed (at 50%+ OS X share it is imposable to ignore with any conscience.) I have looked at the deployment task shipped with Mac Ruby and love the fact that I can have a simple .app to pass on to my users however, am i right in thinking that this .app will only operate on 10.6 machines? If so is there any way to develop either a combined or separate .app which is useful to users of 10.5? Is this possible when the development system is 10.6? 3) I also read an article about how the developer of Stopwatch* packaged said application without the "standard library." am I right in thinking that this is the ruby standard library which was left unpackaged? Wouldn't this render the application un-runnable? Any advice on any of the 3 questions is much appreciated.
