Hi,
I would like to write a MacRuby application that would use the Ruby bindings for Subversion (from here: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig/). Do you think this is possible at all at this point in MacRuby development?
Ok, I think I can answer myself now... I downloaded sources for macruby, swig and svn, compiled swig pointing it to macruby interpreter, same with svn, but when I tried to compile the svn bindings for ruby I started getting errors like "error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type". Apparently the bindings code available in subversion repository is incompatible with ruby 1.9 (and therefore with macruby too), so it's impossible to use those bindings with macruby at the moment, until someone writes a new version of the bindings (and I'm not desperate enough to try updating so low level code). I guess I'll have to try ObjC then... Or, I could connect to svn from ObjC, and then connect to ObjC from MacRuby... JS
