I'm trying to figure out how I could bundle a package, written in Ruby (Sass) into a Cocoa application (Objective-C, not Ruby Cocoa) for me to execute (via NSTask is fine, unless there is an easy way to bridge ObjC<->Cocoa that I'm not aware of).
The Sass package is something you have to install, using "gem install" or "rake install" -- doing so puts a ton of files in my ~/.gem directory. Since I want anybody who has installed my Cocoa-based application to be able to execute this tool from within my app, I don't want to have the user go through a process of installing anything additional, so I'm hoping to be able to embed everything I need in the Resources directory of my app package.
However, not being that familiar with the internals and structure of Ruby (Sorry, I'm having trouble just keeping ObjC/Cocoa in my head!), It's not clear to me just which of the 1,444 files that got installed in the ~/.gem directory (Yes, I counted) I need to embed in the application and what I might need to do to get the directory references, etc. working right.
If anybody has any experience with embedding a ruby tool into a Cocoa application, I would really appreciate your input. I wasn't expecting this to be so hard, considering that ruby is installed on Mac OS X ... but apparently this package is (typically? atypically?) more than just a single script file....
