[MacRuby-devel] 0.2 available for testing

[Stephen Bannasch]

I've just started playing with MacRuby.

Updated to the latest testing release and installed the normal way as 
/usr/local/bin/macruby (instead of trying to install in a non-system 
dir).

Copied /Developer/Examples/Ruby/MacRuby to a working folder and ran 
all the demos.

Everything worked except for CircleView. Interacting with the UI 
caused the app to exit with status 1.

I'm not very familiar with xcode but at the bottom of the project 
window was this statement:

Questions:

CircleView exited with status 1. The Debugger is still running. Use 
'Restart' to debug again.

Where and how can I get more info about this error. Is there a 
console window in xcode? I changed the Active Build Configuration to 
Debug and ran again bug got no more info.

Is there a MacRuby code debugger for the Ruby code?

What are basic strategies I can do to figure out if this is a Ruby, 
MacRuby, or Core issue?

How can I create a distributable app? The PathDemo app is only 31k so 
obviously doesn't include the MacRuby framework?

I'm on 10.5.2 (about to be 10.5.3 after I restart) -- can I make an 
MacRuby app which will also work on 10.4.x Intel and PPC?

I have a bunch of Ruby experience and very little with Cocoa. Besides 
what doc comes with xcode does anybody have suggestions about other 
good resources for learning Cocoa.  Book recommendations are great 
but I prefer books I can buy in both paper and pdf form like the ones 
fromPragmattic Programmers.

I'd like to write a custom PhotBooth application.

Thanks
