Building Mail.app plugin with MacRuby
by Olexandr Prokhorenko 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Sirs, I'm playing around Mail.app plugin bundles, and I'd like to use MacRuby for building a plugin. However, I can't run it with Mail.app. As soon as I'm placing a call to macruby_main(..), I'm getting: The client that links against MacRuby was not built for GC. I think Mail.app is not GC-enabled application. Are there any workarounds or all these efforts are pretty much doomed? Thanks. --Alexander Prohorenko.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Ruby scripting of OSX Leopard - pointer needed

One way of achieving this is by using rb-appscript, which you can install as a rubygem: http://appscript.sourceforge.net/rb-appscript/index.html There's also the Scripting Bridge: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/RubyPythonCocoa/A… /apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005424-SW1 The rb-appscript version of your Applescript would look like this: require "rubygems" require "appscript" include Appscript res = (`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep Resolution`).split width,height = res.grep(/\d+/) window = app("System Events").processes[its.frontmost.eq(true)].windows[1] window.position.set([0, 22]) window.size.set([width, height]) -al

Ruby scripting of OSX Leopard - pointer needed
by Sophie (itsme213) 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Somewhat new to OSX, know Ruby well. I'm sure this is not the right list to post this to, but I'm getting nowhere, and finally found this list ... I've spent about 3 hours and untold googling trying to figure out how to do the below in Ruby. I cannot even get past what kind of Scripting Bridge if any I need, what gems to install if any, and how to get my hands on the relevant objects and play with them in irb, learn their methods and properties, etc. Could some kind soul please help with either - pointer to where I should look for info - some specific things to do for this (totally trivial) script below Thanks! -- Sophie set resolution to words of (do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep Resolution") set {width, height} to {item 2, item 4} of resolution tell application "System Events" tell (first process whose frontmost is true) set position of first window to {0, 22} set size of first window to {width, height} end tell end tell

It is possible and I believe Laurent is preparing a short article to cover legacy Objc + MacRuby. - Matt On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 8:59 AM, Rich Morin <rdm(a)cfcl.com> wrote: > I'd like to know whether it's possible to start with an ObjC > program and convert it, incrementally, to MacRuby.

22 Feb '09

I'm working on a new HotCocoa sample and I need to subclass NSView to override drawRect and add few more methods. I would like to be able to reuse all the goodies from HotCocoa and the view helper, what's the best way to do that? -Matt

incremental conversion of ObjC programs?
by Rich Morin 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

I'd like to know whether it's possible to start with an ObjC program and convert it, incrementally, to MacRuby. That is, override one method at a time, making sure that nothing has been broken; rinse, repeat... If this IS possible, could someone (write and) point out a HowTo that gives specific information on the steps involved? -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm(a)cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development

0.4 release
by Laurent Sansonetti 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hi guys, I think that trunk has been under development for too long. It contains lots of fixes and improvements over 0.3, the current release, and we should push a 0.4 release out of the doors. I thought that we would be able to write a new IO subsystem for 0.4, despite the fact that this effort has started it seems that it won't be completed any time soon. I don't see the new IO subsystem rewrite as a blocker because trunk is already used by several projects. Thoughts? I would like to release trunk as 0.4 next week. On a related note, the blog is not very active at the moment. Would someone be willing to contribute articles to it? Laurent

macruby, llvm, and iphone
by S. Woodside 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

I would kill to be able to write my iphone apps in Ruby. Could LLVM or something like it be used to do that? (like, write an app in ruby, compile to llvm bytecode, and package the app with the llvm virtual machine?) (given that apple does not ship a ruby runtime on iphone, and says "no interpreted languages" is their policy) Some of the people on the list work at apple, maybe you can't talk about this. But can anyone (like if you don't work at apple) possibly say whether this is possible? --simon -- http://simonwoodside.com
