I'm a longtime c and perl prgrammer who has recently come out of the dark ages and am now enjoying a rewarding new life as a ruby programmer (or something like that, LoL). I'm using ruby, ruby Gtk2+, and now fxruby to do some pretty heavily cross-platform programming, and I have to tell you, we really need to get one click installers out there for OS X and linux; freebsd would rock too, though I'm a little bit of a newby in that particular segment of the unix world (but yes I do have a freebsd box running, though I doubt it is stable enough from a hardware standpoint to do a Fox/FXRuby build from source). I know this hinges a lot on there being people available with time and equipment to participate; I have a little of each at present. I'm working with some fairly low end equipment everywhere but on the mac, where I have a dual G4 w/1gb ram. Of course, thats where I'd like to do all my developement and deploy to any of the three platforms. The linux box is(would) be able to run the installer too, and has debian sarge on it. I have fox/fxruby up on this box though I'm having some trouble getting it to use the linked image support. I know build environments, some archiving/packaging generalities, and take deep notes. Anything I can do to help, I am at your disposal. James AND HEY, Thanks for the awesome work so far. Ruby and everything I've seen of it is the best thing to happen to programming since the birth of the PC. -- =================================== Woulds't thou so blame the fragrant blos'ms wilting as never to've had her bloom?

On Windows, I am depending on the One Click Installer. This not only provides ruby, but a host of other useful things like DBI. I'd like to provide the same functionality on the Mac. What is the status of the Mac OS X installer? Is this a project which could / should be picked up?

I'd love to see a package similar to the one for windows, which has been a godsend when deploying for that platform. I'd like to get involved in whatever capacity is most helpful.

I'll let him respond as to what kind of help would be useful. Curt On 8/19/05, James Stallings II wrote: > I'm interested in this as well.
