Hi Im looking at ruby gui toolkits and came across this - looks very interesting. I thought i''d look at some of the apps mentioned (mondrian, dbtalk etc) - see whats been done, and what the code looks like, problem is they have dependencies on fox12, which has dependencies on the Fox toolkit 1.2, which doesnt seem to be available anymore. Im working fxruby-1.6 and foxtoolkit 1.6 going, but am wondering will these existing apps work with newer fxrubies than 1.2? thanks glenn
ok - i''ve answered my own question - the answer is it depends - got some going not others. now i''ve got another one.... but will ask in seperate post thanks On Mon, 20 Aug 2007 09:06:03 pm Glenn Davy wrote:> Hi > Im looking at ruby gui toolkits and came across this - looks very > interesting.

FOX and FXRuby versions 1.2 are several years old now, and if the application hasn''t been touched since then you''d probably want to look for something that''s still being maintained (IMO).
