[MacRuby-devel] Can't build trunk

[Patrick Bennett]

I would be using the stable branch but it seems like everything  
assumes the development branch is being used (ie hotconsole).
Speaking of hotconsole - I've never been able to get it to build.   
With the latest MacRuby (rev 756) [which now builds] I get the  
following when running macrake with the latest hotconsole code:
PMBMacOSX:hotconsole patrickb$ macrake
(in /Users/patrickb/dev/hotconsole)
macruby(74947,0x103785000) malloc: free_garbage: garbage ptr =  
0x800029fc0, has non-zero refcount = 1
/Users/patrickb/dev/hotconsole/HotConsole.app/Contents/Resources/lib/ 
application.rb:43:in `<class:Terminal>': undefined method  
`method_signature' for Terminal:Class (NoMethodError)
	from /Users/patrickb/dev/hotconsole/HotConsole.app/Contents/Resources/ 
lib/application.rb:13:in `<top (required)>'
	from /Users/patrickb/dev/hotconsole/HotConsole.app/Contents/Resources/ 
rb_main.rb:2:in `load'
	from /Users/patrickb/dev/hotconsole/HotConsole.app/Contents/Resources/ 
rb_main.rb:2:in `<main>'
