Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] standaloneify.rb tool

Ok, I'm giving up (at least temporarily).

Standaloneify just doens't seem to play well with Leopard.

I edited rb_main.rb to add the RubyCocoa and all the main Ruby  
libraries back into the $LOAD_PATH. This let me run the application on  
my development machine. However, when I tried to move it to another  
computer, it refused to run.

I spend a lot of time playing with the load paths, but kept getting  
odd errors, and never got it to work right. It always complained about  
an uninitialized constant OSX::NSString::NKF. Nothing I tried could  
get around this.

So I had XCode copy the RubyCocoa bundle into the application--but  
that wouldn't even run locally (I probably have to add the Ruby  
libraries back into the path again...or maybe copy the Ruby framework  
into the app...but that's starting to get ridiculous).

It doesn't really matter for this project. But, it would be nice to  
have some way of bundling the gems I'm using into the app itself.

Any suggestions?
