Comments on: MacRuby soon to reach a new milestone http://merbist.com/2009/10/05/macruby-soon-to-reach-a-new-milestone/ Random thoughts of a software developer Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:29:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Matt Aimonetti http://merbist.com/2009/10/05/macruby-soon-to-reach-a-new-milestone/comment-page-1/#comment-751 Matt Aimonetti Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:58:35 +0000 http://merbist.com/?p=556#comment-751 Hey Roger, technically there is nothing blocking a linux support. Apple even released a large part of GCD. However, at this time, nobody from the MacRuby is working on it. It's worth mentioning that the project leader Laurent Sansonetti offered his assistance to anyone willing to work on Linux support. My guess is that the work won't start until we have a stable and close to final version of MacRuby. Hey Roger, technically there is nothing blocking a linux support.

They are still some gotchas with the 32bit mode and of course you won't be able to use the GCD API with 10.5 I hope that helps Hi Jonno, yes, 0.5 (trunk) works on Leopard and Snow Leopard, however the nightly build is only for SL for now.

However, there isn't any timeline or promises, check the mailing list for the details of what still needs to be done to get the iPhone compilation working.
