Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] packaging ruby within an RC app

[Tim P. <he...@ti...>]

Ok thats interesting - however in his 'lib' dir he has  nkf.bundle,  
stringio.bundle, strscan.bundle  - which I dont think you are talking  
about. There is no such directoy as ./Resources/lib so you must  
mean ../lib?

Looking at the rb_main, those other bits have been added by  
standalonify - looking in standalonify.rb in the src, you can see  
exactly the same as what is in PackRat. I understand what you are  
getting at however, and it makes sense :)

I am still iterated as to how Slingshot have it working, as that  
seems like it would be a very elegant solution? There code base is  
much more tidy than that of locomotive. What does the static.a thing do?

Cheers

Tim
