Hi
Just to report the outcome of a recent request about building wxRuby2 on
AMD64 architecture - after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, turns out to be
quite possible. What''s needed is a few extra flags appended to the
recommended configure options of wxWidgets
|CFLAGS=-fPIC CXXFLAGS=-fPIC LDFLAGS=-fPIC
This seems to be needed because we compile a static wxWidgets which ends
up in a dynamically loaded ruby .so file.
This is written up here
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?HowToBuildWxWidgets
Thanks to Glenn Davy who tried out different options and has also now
provided a binary gem for x86_64-linux.
Hopefully this will also help people who want to install on Intel-64
and/or 64-bit Windows - if anyone has these platforms and wants to
provide a binary gem, drop me a line...
cheers
alex
