[MacRuby-devel] XCode 4 and ObjC bundles

[Julien Jassaud]

Joshua,

Thanks for your prompt answer. I'll look into both mkmf and ControlTower. This is totally new territory for me. Exciting !

> My suggestion would be to forgo using XCode to build the Obj-C extension, and instead use mkmf like you would with any other Ruby C-extension. Then you can just add a script build stage to your project. If you want to see an example of a MacRuby project with an Obj-C extension, take a look at ControlTower. If you have any other questions, ask!

So my question is : what is good practice when it comes to ObjC bundles and MacRuby in XCode 4 ? Is there a way to automate the whole bundle build / copy process ? I tried to modify the "Compile" scheme's "Build" step by adding a pre-action script to it but I don't really know what to put in it. I couldn't even run the Makefile from it.
