Let me start by saying a big "Thanks!" to why for providing
precompiled dependencies for Shoes to us OS X users. That said...
Something I've noticed is that 'source'ing the use-deps file has the
unfortunate side effect of making the particular Terminal session you
were using, well, unuseable. That's primarily because of the way that
use-deps redefines the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, making it hard for other
binaries to find their respective libraries.
The solution? Put the use-deps in the Rakefile! This is a first,
admittedly poor, attempt. Some things that could improve the mechanism
(if anyone is so inclined):
- Make a generic location for the most recent deps
- Extend this for other platforms
- Make the whole download/untar process platform neutral
Anyway, here's the patch:
