wxruby development - Mar 2008 - enum arguments not recognized

Ok, I''ve found a minor problem that I was able to fix, but I''m
not
sure if this is the right way to handle it, being new to swig and all.

Basically, in wxDC.h, there''s a function declaration:

     void GradientFillLinear(const wxRect& rect, const wxColour&  
initialColour, const wxColour& destColour, wxDirection nDirection =  
wxEAST);

The problem is that since swig does not see the definition of the enum  
wxDirection (defined in RubyConstants.i), it treats it as an unknown  
class.  Attempting to call the generated method from Ruby while  
specifying the nDirection argument then becomes impossible.  My  
solution is simple, just %include RubyContstants.i.  This works, but  
I''m not sure what the potential ramifications might be.  Anyway,  
here''s the patch.

Thanks very much for the report and patch. I fixed this with SVN:1580, 
by adding ''enum wxDirection'' to swig/typedefs.i. This is a
global file
included (via common.i) in all swig files, so should fix the prob 
anywhere it occurs.

After you update, you might need to touch swig/classes/DC.i
