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

[Jon B. <jo...@gm...>]

Not sure about this but here is my guess:

If you create a folder VM under your project and lay down all the  
files this installer provides and include the universal builds of  
your gems and then somehow modify your PATH to run only that Ruby  
executable under VM folder (im guessing this will have to occur  
within main.m), you would really get standalone app with your own  
Ruby distro.

Since you can have a file ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist I wonder if  
there might be something RC developer could add to Info.plist that  
could tweak the PATH setting?  (Or this might be something which can  
be done already?)

Like you said before this will definitely add nice bloat to your  
project but @ least you can guarantee / provide your own runtime for  
users not familiar w/ Ruby setup < 10.4.
