Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] Installing/testing rubycocoa into diff local ruby installs, including ruby1.9

[Duncan M. <du...@on...>]

As this has come up, I thought I'd report on my progress distributing  
the latest version of RubyCocoa inside my app bundle. The app is plain  
ObjC, but shells out to a command-line RubyCocoa script.

Inside the bundle, my scripts are in Contents/SharedSupport

I copy into Contents/SharedSupport

Library/Frameworks/RubyCocoa.framework
Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/osx/*
Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/univeral-darwin9.0/rubycocoa.bundle

as installed by the RubyCocoa 1.0 installer into /Library

Now to run a script with the embedded version of RubyCocoa I have the  
following

my_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
lib_dir = File.basename(my_dir) == 'SharedSupport' ? my_dir :
     my_dir + "/../../lib/dist" # when testing

local_load_path = [
     File.expand_path(my_dir),
     File.expand_path(lib_dir + '/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8'),
     File.expand_path(lib_dir + '/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8'),
     File.expand_path(lib_dir + '/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/powerpc- 
darwin9.0'),
     File.expand_path(lib_dir + '/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/universal- 
darwin9.0')]
	
ENV['DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH'] = File.expand_path(lib_dir + '/ 
Library/Frameworks/')
quoted_argv = ARGV.collect {|each| %["#{each}"]}
exec %[ruby -I "#{local_load_path.join(':')}"  
#{File.expand_path(my_dir + '/velocraptor2.rb')} #{quoted_argv.join('  
')}]

where velocraptor2.rb is the script that actually does the work.

It turns out that a script can't see the effects of changing its own  
DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH, hence the need to exec rather than call.

Hope this helps, but if not at least I might find it again here when I  
need it ;-)
