Cross-posted to the blog (at http://lylejohnson.name/blog/2010/08/04/moving-on/): When Jamis Buck wrote last year about ceasing development on Capistrano, his post really struck a chord with me. If this post reminds you of that one, it''s because I re-read it before sitting down to compose this one. It was the next best thing to having...

Hello, I have started learning FXRuby about 2 weeks ago. Now I''m trying to launch the scintilla_test.rb from the fxruby-1.6 installation directory (/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.16/examples) and get this error: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.16/lib/fox16/kwargs.rb:2007:in `old_initialize'': wrong number of arguments (8 for 0) (ArgumentError) from

All, A couple of new build platforms have come into the picture since the last FXRuby release and I''m trying to make sure they''re supported. That is to say, I want to be able to provide precompiled binary gems so that users on those platforms don''t have to build everything from source. I think I''m there, but I could use your help testing if you have

...ou may have heard, the default gem hosting repository will soon transition away from RubyForge.org to a new site, RubyGems.org (aka Gemcutter.org). Coincident with this transition will be a gradual (?) phasing out of other RubyForge services, which I''ve written about here: http://lylejohnson.name/blog/2009/10/26/wait-what-was-that-last-bit/ As I write near the end of that piece, I''m starting to think about where some of these services (namely, FXRuby''s bug tracker and mailing list) should land after the dust settles. I list a couple of possibilities in the blog...

We have been using Ruby 1.8.6 and FXRuby 1.6.16 under Windows, from the old one step installer. The following code takes less than a second to load and execute on my five-year old Windows XP PC. puts ''Starting'' require ''fox16'' puts ''Done'' With Ruby 1.9.3 and FXRuby 1.6.23, it takes 12 or more seconds. Both tests are with all files on

Hello, I tried some simple programs on OpenBSD 5.0-Unix with Ruby1.9. It works fine. Many thanks to Lars for fixing "segfault". I hope I will find some time to test it on Linux by the end of this week. Regards, Alwin

Hi Lars, people. I''ve realized that currently the gem(version 1.6.26) doesn''t work with Ruby 2.0.0 in Windows 32 bits, neither the 64 bits version, I''m talking about the versions listed here: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ . There you can see both versions of Ruby and also the both versions of the DevKit: mingw64-32 and mingw64-64. I''ve tested with both

I have created a mirror of the fxruby-users mailing list in Google Groups (http://groups.google.com/group/fxruby-google). I will remove it if anyone has a strong objection to its existence. Otherwise, I hope that it proves to be useful. Regards, Chris

Hi Which is the most stable version of FXRuby that can be used with ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0)? I am having lots of trouble installing fxruby using gem. root at at91sam9263ek:~$ gem install fxruby-1.6.19.gem Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing fxruby-1.6.19.gem: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/local/bin/ruby

Hi -- I just got your book FXRuby and am trying to get it working on Leopard -- I had no problems getting it to work on Vista or Ubuntu but when I tried to follow the post on your blog for Leopard I got the following error -- I don''t know enough about Leopard or Ruby for that matter to troubleshoot this myself so I was hoping someone may have run into this before and can offer a solution.

Hello, I am a newbie to FXRuby development. I like the fact that I can write the code in Ruby for cross-platform GUI development. I am developing a desktop application that needs to save some information to a database. I am using ActiveRecord for this purpose. My code works fine when I don''t require fox16 and include Fox. But once I do that I get a bunch of warnings. Here is the sample

All, Due to a number of recent bug reports regarding FXRuby''s compatibility with JRuby, I feel like I need to clear something up, and that''s that FXRuby will never (well, "almost certainly never") work with JRuby. This problem isn''t unique to FXRuby; it''s true for any C/C++-based Ruby extension. See this page:

InfoQ has just published Werner Schuster''s interview with me, in which we discuss the FOX toolkit and FXRuby''s implementation: http://www.infoq.com/articles/johnson-fxruby-book-excerpt The article also includes an exclusive sample chapter from the new book, "FXRuby: Create Lean and Mean GUIs with Ruby". To read more about the book, please see its web page at the

All, FXRuby version 1.6.15 is now available for download from this page: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=300&release_id=22658 Note that if you''re building FXRuby from source, you should be using FOX 1.6.16 or later due to some important changes made in that release of FOX. For a summary of the changes in this release of FXRuby, please see this page:
