framework is not supported in MacRuby static

[jazzbox@…]

$ cat test.rb 
framework 'Foundation'
p NSGregorianCalendar

$ macruby test.rb 
"gregorian"

$ macrubyc -o test --static test.rb 
$ ./test
framework: is not supported in MacRuby static (RuntimeError)

Commenting out the framework 'Foundation' results in a

./test.rb:4:in `<main>': uninitialized constant NSGregorianCalendar (NameError)

#framework is not supported via static compilation. You should specify the frameworks you need using --framework to macrubyc instead.

FYI, static compilation is still a work in progress, so a lot of things will not work yet.

Replying to lsansonetti@…:

#framework is not supported via static compilation. You should specify the frameworks you need using --framework to macrubyc instead.

NSGregorianCalendar is a constant which is defined in the foundation framework, which is already included by default in macrubyc.

FYI, static compilation is still a work in progress, so a lot of things will not work yet.

...so I have to wait until constants of Cocoa frameworks are supported!

I tried to reproduce this problem with the nightly build 4 Dec 2010. Compilation failed with:

$ macrubyc -o test --framework Foundation --static test.rb
