Looks like Isaac already added this option to HotCocoa:
http://github.com/richkilmer/hotcocoa/issues#issue/7
http://github.com/isaac/hotcocoa/commit/3c3db96fa8b9228c2ef7b65a65122ff0a53142dc

(add "stdlib: false" to config/build.yml)

but looks like that hasn't been released yet (not in HotCocoa 0.5.1 from what I can tell)?

Is there possibility of a release for HotCocoa soon that might contain Isaac's fix?

Also saw a related ticket in MacRuby, not for HotCocoa but for embed target ( http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/361 ) that was fixed in 0.5, and it was mentioned that further improvements would be made in the near future to reduce the size of embedded macruby apps.

Are there plans to include improvements in embedded app size as part of MacRuby also for 0.6 (I don't know whether those would help HotCocoa app size or not in addition to Isaac's fix, but just curious)?

Thanks!
Gary

In the MacRuby tutorial ( http://www.macruby.org/documentation/tutorial.html ) there is a brief section about Embedding MacRuby in Your Application, and when you use HotCocoa's macrake deploy, it includes the framework also. However, the smallest resulting app in MacRuby 0.5/HotCocoa 0.5.1 is roughly 150MB in size, which is much, much larger than the average small application on a Mac.

Isaac Kearse noted a way to get around this in his post "Packaging A HotCocoa Application" ( http://isaac.kearse.co.nz/2010/02/01/packaging-hotcocoa/ ). I was just thinking, it would be nice if the same or similar method could be added to HotCocoa's deploy and/or possibly documented in the MacRuby tutorial as an alternative?

Thanks!
