Hi, I was wondering, could someone provide information on the state of macgem? At this time, I'm looking to get some top gems working in macgem if it is at all possible at this time or help fix macgem so that I can do it. Thanks, -Conrad
Hey Conrad, I was just looking at this last week. Some recent work on marshalling landed on trunk recently (thanks Laurent!), which is one of the pieces needed. The other major missing piece is zlib. I was looking at what would be needed to port this to MacRuby. However, there is also Zliby (http://zliby.rubyforge.org/ ), a Pure-Ruby zlib that was written for IronRuby. Not sure what the preference regarding these two options is. Perhaps some benchmarking could settle the debate? - Josh On Aug 17, 2009, at 4:58 PM, Conrad Taylor wrote:

We are almost there, Etc, Zlib and Socket are still missing. Last I heard, Laurent had a "plan" for Zlib, knowing him, it's probably a great and efficient idea. Make sure to check with him before starting on that. (running some benchmarks on zliby wouldn't hurt anyone) Once function_method will be working again, many more stdlibs should also be in a better shape (Math, CMath etc..) There is a lot of work being done, unfortunately not much we can see yet. - Matt On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 5:41 PM, Josh Ballanco <joshua.ballanco@apple.com>wrote:
