[MacRuby-devel] Exposing c structs and functions

[Jim Getzen]

Laurent,

OK, it has taken me awhile to get back to this issue again, but yes,  
you were exactly right, I needed to look at the newer BridgeSupport  
format in /System/Library/Frameworks...

It works great now. Thanks for the help!

Jim
