[MacRuby-devel] Security for licensing a MacRuby app

[Gary Weaver]

Laurent,

That sounds cool!

I read the section on compilation in http://www.macruby.org/blog/index.html but am curious- is there an easy way to compile an app completely (specifically a HotCocoa app) into machine code using macrake (similar to "macrake deploy") and not just on a file-by-file basis using macrubyc (rb file) -o t? If so, would like to try that to decrease the size of the entire HotCocoa app to be < 150MB possibly, while not requiring the runtime or anything else to be installed (so app is completely self-contained). Sorry to distract. Am just curious.

Thanks!
Gary
