Ruby - The Gredia Port & How to Get Involved

This paper discusses the background and philosophy of the GREDIA Ruby 1.9.1p0 Symbian OS port and gives details of how to build, use and extend the Ruby 1.9.1 VM for Symbian OS. The paper targets Symbian C++ developers at intermediate level. This project also demonstrates how to use P.I.P.S. for a major open source project (about 400K lines of source code), integrate it with Symbian C++ and make use of Autoconf builds for Symbian OS/P.I.P.S.
