OK, I put my laziness aside and tried a few things.
Pulling master from git and downloading the pre-built dependencies I
followed the quick instruction for building Shoes on Mac OS X.
Building breaks off with the following:
private method `specification_version=' called for
#<Gem::Specification:0x5445d4>
It's in the Rakefile (ln 117) where the gemspecs for the required ruby
libs are processed, which is an eval of the gemspecs in the req directory.
(bare with me, I am a bit explicit because it also helps me get an
overview of how things are done)
Now, the use-deps script modifies the environment so that the ruby used
is the one in the deps/ dir.
The gem library used in my prebuilt package is v1.1.1 with a
GemSpecification version of 1.
In the gemspecs there is the following line of code:
if s.respond_to? :specification_version then
whereupon the code decides to use specification_version= within the if.
GemSpecification v1 responds to :specification but :specification= is
private.
Changing the if line to
if s.public_methods.include?("specification_version=")
lets me built with no problems.
I've attached my patch against master.
Cheers,
V.-

Subject: [PATCH] checking if Gem::Specification#specification_version= is public
updated the gemspecs to fix an issue with gem specifications of version 1 where
specification_version= is not public. The code was checking if the object
responds to specification, not specification=
