[MacRuby-devel] Trying to add Bonjour to a ControlTower app

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Mark,

I'm afraid the low level BSD socket structures are not yet covered by BridgeSupport.

We could eventually add them to the libSystem BridgeSupport file, however I wonder if there isn't an easier way to use Bonjour from MacRuby.
