Actually I was thinking about a Ruby.framework which could be bundle with a RubyCocoa app. And then any C extensions and other libs could also go in there to have a nice separation. But it's more important to have something that works. So if you guys think it's better to bundle it in the RubyCocoa.framework then that's it :) > I agree, this would be a better solution.

I had been looking at how to create frameworks. I believe that libruby has to be treated with install_name_tool etc. But if we are going to bundle it in the RubyCocoa.framework then I'm not quite sure how to..... > # Thanks Eloy for the idea :-) > > To be sure, we plan to do this _only_ for the .dmg Tiger package, right? Well, I would want to have the option (in for instance standalonify, like we already discussed Laurent) to bundle a specific version of libruby (like 1.8.6-universal) with C extensions (does standalonify already do this??) etc. But for the installer this will be a good option indeed instead of how it's now. Good flight Laurent! Cheers, Eloy
