Hi Patrick,
No, to be honest I haven't - probably because I wasn't aware
of it. I don't
think it's very practical though as the Perforce API is C++
based, and DL
really only looks any good for C. I need some C++ space in
order to call the
methods to convert StrDict objects into Ruby hashes (for
example).
One alternative I've considered (and I haven't entirely
given up on it yet),
is writing P4Ruby as a wrapper around 'p4 -R'. i.e. Use 'p4'
to interact with
Perforce, and parse its output. It'll be slower,
significantly so I suspect,
but portable.
For now, as much as it is a little unwieldy, building
against the API is the
best approach.
