As Matt writes, the standard library only contains extra classes. Everything accessible without a #require is part of the core, which cannot be stripped down during the deployment phase (yet). As of trunk (0.6), the stdlib files are in /Library/Frameworks/ MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.6/usr/lib/ruby. It's a mix of Ruby and C extension bundles. These are the files that will be removed.

std libs are all the "extra" classes that you need to require in your code like rexml, yaml, CGI etc...

Is there any formal/informal list of what ruby considers "standard library"? Can we safely assume that most container classes are available for instance? Array, Hash etc? Am I right in assuming that what is left out is anything that warrants a "require" statement?
Again, Thanks!

Hi all, I have a couple of questions which I have attempted to answer to no-avail. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction (Quite new to OS X development so my apologies if it is mealy my incompetence that has lead me here.)
1) I am looking into using MacRuby and am interested in it's ability to AOT compile ruby code down to an executable. I am wondering though whether this places a restriction on the code in any way? Is there a subset of ruby which is supported or can i go ahead and perform all the meta-magic i want and still have the code AOT compiled?
2) I am also interested in targeting both 10.6 and 10.5 with any applications developed (at 50%+ OS X share it is imposable to ignore with any conscience.) I have looked at the deployment task shipped with Mac Ruby and love the fact that I can have a simple .app to pass on to my users however, am i right in thinking that this .app will only operate on 10.6 machines? If so is there any way to develop either a combined or separate .app which is useful to users of 10.5? Is this possible when the development system is 10.6?
3) I also read an article about how the developer of Stopwatch* packaged said application without the "standard library." am I right in thinking that this is the ruby standard library which was left unpackaged? Wouldn't this render the application un-runnable?
Any advice on any of the 3 questions is much appreciated.

Anthony Buck
