fxruby users - Jul 2010 - Alternative to QT

Hi Lyle and other friends

I am working on at91sam9263 single board Arm9, 200Mhz gadgets, with 64M Ram
and 256M Nand flash . At one time I was  creating prototypes in fxruby for
the said board. Things were going quite well, and I was trying to convince
the managent to stick to fox lib and ruby, when they moved into the
direction of Qt-embedded-linux-opensouce 4.5.2 ,which works without X
windows, but on the  frame buffer device.

Presently all coding is on Qt + C++, which I find terribly boring as well
requiring too much man hours and man power.

May I know if there is any chance to work on getting fxruby on a /dev/fb0 ?
I beleive there are lots of prospective markets where one can employ the
ease and flexibilty and joy of coding in Ruby and fox ,if we could embark on
a project to get foxlib to work on framebuffer device.

Warm regards

Nataraj S Narayan

I have no clue what would be involved in this, but you might want to
cross-post your request to the FOX users mailing list, since that''s
where the bulk of the porting work would need to happen. FXRuby is,
after all, just a Ruby compatibility layer on top of FOX (i.e. there''s
nothing X-specific in FXRuby''s code base).

Good luck!
