It’s all good and fine that TextMate wants to go GPL 3.0. I believe in paid libre software. I was just kind of blown away by the toolchain required to build the thing – boost, ninja, etc. Each of these projects had to be built and installed. Whatever. I downloaded a release from git and attempted to build and got the error in the title:

bin/gen_build:391:in `dynamic_lib’: undefined method `[]’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

flustered, i just killed the source download and did a git clone directly from the repository. This worked fine. Built and installed. I’m a BBEdit person though. Morning wasted.
