[Rubycocoa-talk] [ANN] RubyCocoa 0.4.0 was released!

[FUJIMOTO H. <hi...@im...>]

RubyCocoa 0.4.0 was released!

  http://www.imasy.or.jp/~hisa/mac/rubycocoa/

The '.pkg' binary package is available for Mac OS X 10.2.  All of
framework, library, documents, samples and ProejctBuilder templates
are contained in the package. These items will be installed into the
appropriate place. It is available to start of RubyCocoa programming
or use of RubyCocoa application immediately.


== Changes from 0.3.2

  * Ruby 1.8 supported

  * revive RubyCocoa.framework

      All of core implementation which are written with Objective-C or
      Ruby is contained in the RubyCocoa framework.

  * rename the extended library and move the library

== What's RubyCocoa?

  RubyCocoa is a Mac OS X framework that allows Cocoa programming in
  the Object-Oriented Scripting Language Ruby.

  RubyCocoa allows writing a Cocoa application in Ruby.  It allows
  creating and using a Cocoa object in a Ruby script.  In Cocoa
  application, mixture of program written by both Ruby and Objective-C
  is possible.

  Some cases using RubyCocoa:

    * Exploration of a Cocoa object's feature with 'irb' interactively
    * Prototyping of a Cocoa application
    * Cocoa application that include good feature of Ruby and Objective-C
    * Wrapping Mac OS X native GUI for Ruby script

In CVS, see the file tools/gen_standalone_library.rb on the 
ct-file-size-opt branch. This script generates a Ruby + RubyCocoa 
static library that you can link into your app. You can distribute the 
resulting application, and the user should never know the difference. 
No installer required.

This actually worked around RubyCocoa 0.2.5ish, but I haven't had time 
to continue work on it (new job, new baby), and I don't know if it 
still works with 0.3. It's pretty simple, though, and there are obvious 
improvements that could be made. Shouldn't be too difficult to bring up 
to date if needed (famous last words...).

Another way to do it would be to bundle the RubyCocoa framework and 
libruby inside your app bundle, but this solution incurs additional 
launch time overhead.

[Rubycocoa-talk] Deployment questions

[Rod S. <rsc...@xm...>]

I haven't seen anything on this and I'm wondering what the options are 
for deploying a RubyCocoa app. Does the user have to install RubyCocoa 
on their machine or can I deploy it so that it is part of the 
application bundle. If so, how?

Or do I have to create some kind of installer that will install 
RubyCocoa for them? Again, how or has somebody already done this?

Thanks,

Rod Schmidt

Following code may be available for your purpose. But such conding
is almost no tested currently. I am not confident about this code
work.

  const char* ruby_script = "class Hello;def sayHello() \"Hello\" end end";
  id hello = [[NSClassFromString(@"RBObject") alloc] initWithCStrig: ruby_script];

You are right. I think that my decision which removed
RubyCocoa.framework from RubyCocoa 0.3 was a mistake.

I have a plan for RubyCocoa 0.4. Almost RubyCocoa code and libruby
will be implemented as RubyCocoa.framework. This framework will be
able to use directory or through osx_objc.bundle.

thanks, first e-mail for this mailing list :-)

[Rubycocoa-talk] Call Ruby from Objective-C?

[Rod S. <rsc...@xm...>]

Does RubyCocoa let you call ruby using objective-C syntax? For example, 
  say you have the following class:

class Hello
	def sayHello
		"Hello"
	end
end

 From an Objective-C class can I do the following (or something similar):

id hello = [Hello alloc] initialize];
NSLog(@"%@", [hello sayHello]];

I don't think RubyCocoa does this, because it's the opposite of what it 
is designed for. Is there perhaps another project that is working on 
this?
