Comment(by lsansone...@…):
Are you using 0.4 or 0.5 (trunk)? The rewrite of the new VM in C++ plus
the static inclusion of LLVM unfortunately grew up the size of MacRuby in
trunk. The dylib is about 28MB here (which contains code for both i386 and
x86_64, so it can be cut in half if necessary). Due to heavy STL inlining
certain object files are very big, this is a shame. We have a plan to put
some object files on diet and also move the LLVM stuff we need into a
shared library.
Also, the Embed MacRuby target embeds everything, including the standard
library, gems, and so on as you may have noticed. Most programs probably
only need libmacruby.dylib. The target could potentially be changed to
allow 2 modes, one that embeds everything and one that only embeds the
dylib.
