Re: [MacRuby-devel] Launch an app from the command line

Hi Corey, As some already figured it out, you need to create an application bundle (.app) around your MacRuby script (with an Info.plist file, and so on), then run it from the command-line. macrubyc can be used to compile your script into a binary executable, but you still need to wrap it ins

Hi Corey, I could be wrong - I'm pretty new to MacRuby myself - but my understanding is that MacRuby is an only an interpreter, equivalent to other Ruby implementations. To get a fully-compiled Mac binary, you still need to use a compiler like XCode to generate a .app file. Jeff On Sun, Oct 17,
