I recently thought of getting started with MacRuby. I've installed Xcode 4.2 and i've installed MacRuby, but apparently i am missing something. In every tutorial i found so far it says, that i have to choose "MacRuby Application" from the Xcode templates ... but there is no such entry available. I've tried with 0.10 and with a nightly released a few days ago.
I've had a look at where MacRuby installs it's stuff and i found templates for Xcode 3.0 ... do i have to use these templates and how do i import them to Xcode 4.2?
Before i am getting started i would also like to know, if it's somehow safe to start with MacRuby? At first sight i thought 'yes', because of the new MacRuby book available -- but there seems to be not much activity on the MacRuby website (last blog entry from march, last year?) ... which can in my experience be a sign that you should better not rely on something. Does MacRuby have a future?
I stumbled onto this because I was getting a "macruby.h file not found" error.
I had to do two things with Xcode:
1- add this path to "framework search paths" in my project settings
/Library/Frameworks
2-Add a symbolic link to help Xcode find the MacRuby.framework
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework MacRuby.framework
