[MacRuby-devel] Packing gems in the app's folder

[Eloy Duran]

Hi,

Have you included the Gems directory in your xcode project so that it  
copies the complete dir when building?
This probably then tells you that the dir does not exist "p File.exist? 
(File.expand_path('../Gems', __FILE__))".

Second, are you sure you actually need rubygems if you are already  
vendoring? Removing rubygems from the dependencies will really boost  
up the load time of your application. So I would do everything to  
remove it as a dependency. In the best case scenario you only need to  
do something like (untested code):

Dir.glob(File.expand_path('../Gems/*', __FILE__)).each do |gem|
   $LOAD_PATH.unshift File.join(gem, 'lib')
end

require "mechanize"
