hallo leute, wollte euch mal von unserem aktuellen projekt berichten; bitte um feedback und weiterleitung. gruss, parasew -- Ruby developers working on the Macintosh OS had hard times: broken Readline library on Tiger, too old Ruby on Panther and Rails not working at all, since it requires Ruby 1.8.4. Distributing Ruby-based software can be a pain, since you don't know which packages people have installed. We created the Ruby One-Click Installer exactly to fix that issues: a minimal installer for people that want to start coding or want to distribute their software to people that don't have xcode. No compiling necessary. This package is the most simple way to equip your Macintosh Apple OSX System with Ruby - similar to the Windows Ruby One-Click Installer. It replaces the broken Readline library, updates to a current version of SQLite3 and prepares your OSX for Rails, which needs at least Ruby 1.8.4 to run. The current Ruby Version is 1.8.6 (1.8.5 is recommended for Rails) and Rubygems 0.9.4. This package's intention is to remain small while being a Universal Binary that serves everything to deploy Ruby Applications on OSX Machines - Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger or Leopard. You don't need to compile anything and you don't need Apple's Developer Tools (xcode) installed. Also in the Package: * SQLite3, to have the tightest ACID-compliant relational database management system available. * Ruby/LDAP, in order to enable interfacing with LDAP-Servers via ruby-net-ldap or Active::LDAP. * Ragel State Machine Compiler in case you plan to use SuperRedCloth or Hpricot (and others). * Mongrel Webserver plus dependencies (daemons, fastthread, gem_plugin, rake, cgi_multipart_eof_fix), for your ultimate HTTP needs. You can download the Ruby One-Click Installer for OSX from our site: http://rubyosx.com -- The Ruby One-Click Installer for OSX is a Project by parasew and 5uper.net, originally written to support the popular Wiki-Software instiki. Ruby is copyrighted free software by Yukihiro Matsumoto. This Installer can also run Rails.
