[MacRuby] #217: Pretty-Preeze wizard me up a Tiger version
#217: Pretty-Preeze wizard me up a Tiger version ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: mistergibson@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: MacRuby 0.4 Component: MacRuby | Keywords: tiger ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Dear MacRuby Gods, I live in the cheap seats of life, and do not have the where-with-all to get a Leopard machine. Also, I know many *many* people in the same situation. What would it take to downgrade / retrofit the stubs of this project to something the venerable Tiger could gum down? Also, if its a question of resources ... how much and who do I bribe? Thanks, G. Gibson -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/217> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
I think MacRuby depends on the GC in ObjC 2.0 which came with Leopard. Cheers Nic Mocra - http://mocra.com Blog - http://drnicwilliams.com On 27/01/2009, at 7:52 AM, "MacRuby" <ruby-noreply@macosforge.org> wrote:

That is correct. This, and other compatibility factors, are likely to prevent this from ever getting back-ported to Tiger. Seeing as how Tiger was released in 2005 and, in April, will be 4 years old, I also don't think it's likely that anyone will see a big win on even spending time on the problem. Perhaps SnowLeopard will prove compelling enough to finally spend a little money on an upgrade. :-) - Jordan On Jan 26, 2009, at 2:13 PM, Dr Nic Williams wrote:

Perhaps the release of SnowLeopard, when that occurs, will prove a good time to jump ahead a couple of OS versions. -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/217#comment:1> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
