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

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

Ive just had a go with it and it works fine doing that with hpricot,  
but the I tried libxml-ruby and the make file it creates is a lot  
more complex than that of hpricot. It seems to check the architecture  
of ruby, to make sure its compiling the right one. These are the  
following lines in the make file:

arch = i686-darwin8.7.1
sitearch = i686-darwin8.7.1

Which was generated by extconf.rb. I tried manually adding different  
architecture flags but it doesn't like it and complains with the  
following:

libz.dylib cputype (7, architecture i386) does not match cputype (18)  
for specified -arch flag: ppc (file not loaded)

I think the first bit relates to that its already cast itself as i686  
and knows its not a PPC so doesn't need to compile it (or cant  
compile it?)

What are peoples thoughts?

Cheers

Tim
