My experience with RubyCocoa

Matt Todd

8/16/2006 4:22:00 PM

So, I just installed RubyCocoa on my OS X machine here at work. Just
thought I'd relay some keys to getting things to work:

* The easiest way to install RubyCocoa (on 10.4) is to use
DarwinPorts. The automatic installer does NOT work.

* RubyCocoa requires the Ruby version that comes with OS X, so if
you've compiled your own version (etc), which will probably end up in
/usr/local/bin/, make sure you use /usr/bin/ruby or /usr/bin/irb for
doing your RubyCocoa apps.

* RubyCocoa is fun! :D

If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to share it.

A Darwin Ports-installed Ruby works just fine for me. I haven't tried
it with a hand-built version, but I imagine the only problem would be
one of library locations.

Matt, you may want to update, edit, or tweak
http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show... to share with the
largest number of current and future users.

The installer works fine for me with a custom built ruby in /usr/
local/bin/ruby. And I am sure that it is using that ruby because i
renamed the original apple ruby.

John:

Will do.

Ezra:

That's very interesting. What version numbers are you running there?

When I first installed RubyCocoa with the 10.4 auto-installer, I tried
the following and it responded that it couldn't find 'osx/cocoa', and
after I linked the files (symbolically) it said that it didn't
recognize the constant OSX.

Hmm, what version of Xcode do you have installed?

Thanks a lot.

If you have the time, I would really appreciate if you could write how
RubyCocoa compares to Ruby/Tk. In particular how easy is each one to
learn for someone with no experience (given also that Apple provides
tools like Interface Builder for Cocoa).

Hi Diego,

If I HAD any experience, you bet I would. Unfortunately, this is
really my first foray into GUI building. In particular, I've never
used Tk, and probably won't for some time.

However, I'd like to know just as well, so if anybody has any
experience with both of these, do tell! Or at least point us in the
right direction. ;)

I followed the build instructions on the rubycocoa website and it
worked fine against my own hand-built ruby. I don't use DP for
anything ruby-related.

agreed.

Would you mind if I insert ma question here? I have had a successful
experience with RubyCocoa so far on my old G4. But now I've upgraded
to a Mac Intel, and I have a problem in reinstalling it from source.
The "sudo ruby install.rb config" command fails with this message:
....
ruby gen_cocoa_wrapper.rb
cpp-3.3: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1obj': No such file or
directory
/usr/bin/cpp-3.3 returned 1 exit status
....
I have tried gcc 4.0.1 and 3.3 to the same result. And of course, there
is such a cc1obj file, not just one:
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/cc1obj
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3-fast/cc1obj
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/cc1obj
/usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/cc1obj
The permissions look good on those files (the x flag is set)
I suspect something like the PATH or some other environment
variable. Has anyone seen the same symptom on Intel?
Thanks,
Jean-Pierre

Running 10.4.7, just upgraded to xcode 2.4 and am still getting:
cpp-3.3: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1obj': No such file or
directory
