[MacRuby-devel] MacRuby development in Xcode

[Matt Aimonetti]

Rick, this is a known issue with Xcode 4.3.x which was moved from a system
folder to an standard application folder. Xcode calls a custom script to
recognize the MacRuby classes and make them available to the devs. Because
the project was moved, the script isn't found so your MacRuby classes
aren't automatically recognized. I thought a workaround including a symlink
was added to the nightly build but that might not be the case.

Watson/whoever worked on that last, could you comment on the status of
things and maybe document the workaround on the wiki please?

Thanks,

- Matt
