[Rubycocoa-talk] Distributing RubyCocoa Apps

[Brandon S. <bsh...@gm...>]

I'm doing some Mac programming, and Ruby is my language of choice, but
I had a few questions regarding distribution of RubyCocoa apps. One
thing I'm uncertain about is dependencies. I know I have Ruby
installed now, but I don't remember if it was there before the
developer tools were installed(and removing and reinstalling is a huge
pain in the ass), so is ruby installed on OS X by default(even if 10.3
and above)? Also in line with dependancies, can the RubyCocoa
framework be bundled with the app bundle so the user can just drag,
drop, and use(like all good OS X apps, development frameworks
excluded)? Also, since an app bundle is essentially a special kind of
folder, would the licensing be treated as though I were linking to any
other external LGPL library such as GTK+, thus allowing my freedom of
license on the rest of the program in the bundle(I prefer the CPL)?
I'm not a member of the list so please cc any replies to me personally
at bsh...@gm...

Thank You,
