Whistlepig 0.2 is out already. This time it should actually compile under OS X. I’m having a grand old time figuring out all the differences in flags that Ruby when compiling gems under different architectures. But not so grand that I want to learn automake/autoconf.
As part of making sure things were compiling on different platforms, I ran
make test-integration and noticed that on my dual-boot laptop runs it at
8000k/s on Linux but only 6200k/s on OS X. I was expecting a difference in
Linux’s favor, but not quite that large! As another point of reference, my
mid-range Linux desktop gives me 9500 k/s.
