[MacRuby-devel] IB and Ruby files.

[Mario Steele]

Hey Corey,

I've ran into the same problem in my setup of an app I'm doing now.  What I
had to do, was a two-fold process.

The first step in the process, is to add my "Classes" folder to my Project
as a Folder Reference, so that the folder would get copied over.  This
allows me to keep the folder structure that I want in the final .app folder,
with the code files where I wanted them.

The second step in the process, is to add a new group, called "Classes", and
import all the files that I need access to in IB in there.  Ofcourse, cause
of the structure and way XCode does the bundling of .app's, I also need to
go into the Main Target, and under the Copy Bundle Resources, remove the
references to the ruby files from there, so that they don't get double
copied into the root of the .app folder.

This is the only method in which I have been able to keep a clean, and
structured layout to my .app folder.  Also, if you plan to use
macruby-deploy, you will find that the compile option won't recursively go
through subfolders of your .app folder, and compile the ruby objects.  For
that, I took the code from macruby-deploy, and did some changes, and created
a rakefile to do that for me.  The code is below:

Rakefile:
BASE_DIR = Dir.pwd
BUILD_DIR = File.join(BASE_DIR,"build")
DEBUG_DIR = File.join(BUILD_DIR,"Debug")
RELEASE_DIR = File.join(BUILD_DIR,"Release")
APP_FOLDER = "MusixBox.app"
RESOURCES_FOLDER = File.join("Contents","Resources")

desc "Compiles all rb files into rbo code"
task :compile, :version do |t, args|
        if args.version.downcase == "debug"
                target = DEBUG_DIR
                puts "Compiling Debug version..."
        else
                target = RELEASE_DIR
                puts "Compiling Release version..."
        end
        target = File.join(target,APP_FOLDER,RESOURCES_FOLDER)
        Dir.glob(File.join(target,"*","**","*.rb")).each do |source|
                base = File.basename(source, ".rb")
                next if base == 'rb_main'
                obj = File.join(File.dirname(source),base + '.rbo')
                if !File.exist?(obj) or File.mtime(source) > File.mtime(obj)
                        puts "Compiling #{source} to #{base + ".rbo"}..."
                        `macrubyc -C '#{source}' -o '#{obj}'`
                end
                rm_rf(source)
        end
end

The last change I had to do, was to rb_main.rb file, to tell it where to
find the Source code files, to load, which mine looks like this:

# Require all class code

Dir.glob(File.join(dir_path, 'Classes', '*.{rb,rbo}')).map { |x|
File.basename(x, File.extname(x)) }.uniq.each do |path|

  if path != main

    require(File.join(dir_path, 'Classes', path))

  end

end


Hope this helps you out,


Mario
