similar to: SWIG detection, revisited

I have a minimal working version of a SWIG-based wxRuby that can bring up an empty Frame with a title. On my system, it crashes on exit. I suspect this is the same problem that I mentioned months ago when I first upgraded to wxWindows 2.4.2. The problem mysteriously vanished at some point, but now it is back. I fiddled with this new code for several frustrating hours, and couldn''t

Hi everyone, As Kevin has just announced, wxruby-swig has been moved into CVS as a toplevel project. It still is not in a "releasable" form yet, but it now builds on more systems than it doesn''t, and is moving towards stability. Because of the complexity of the build environment, we''re using rake (http://rake.rubyforge.org) as a build system instead of the standard

The result of the compilation after installing swig results in lots of errors of the sort: WindowDisabler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _SWIG_Ruby_ConvertPtr I can see this is defined in rubydef.swg but I''m not sure why this isn''t just included in the files that need it. Can any swig experts tell me what I need to do to progress? I''m using

Hey everybody, I''ve made some progress on wxruby-swig, and have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the MSVC version finally can run all of the samples provided in CVS. I''m using the same solve-by-ignore solution to the GC problem that wxruby uses, so there is far less crashing goin'' on. Depending on the next few weeks, we might be able to

In trying to add wxTextCtrl to wxruby-swig, I''ve been running into a problem with the argument conversion that appears to be a SWIG director bug. It is tied to multiple inheritance, and is related to SWIG specifically making director''s ''initialize'' take a first argument, but because ''initialize'' is static there isn''t a self value

I just pushed a new wxruby-swig, which includes the known MSWin rakefile changes. It also has some significant internal improvements that will make it easier to add classes, and it includes support for one new class (wxEvent). wxruby-swig is now licensed under the "MIT license". wxRuby will remain under the wxWindows license as long as we are releasing the old code base. When we

REMINDER: wxruby-swig is an experimental rewrite of wxRuby, using SWIG. It is not yet useful. The official wxRuby is still at 0.2.1. The 0.0.3 release of wxruby-swig is able to run the "minimal.rb" sample, which includes menu event handling. As always, it is available at: http://qualitycode.com/repos/wxruby-swig/ I also created a tarball this time, so you can just download that and

Was trying to understand more about the internals of wxruby-swig, where does the big chunk of XML comes from? I saw something similiar in Python, is that massaged out of there? The codes produced by extractxml.rb and wxclasses-2.4.2.xml is quite different from the original header files. Just for example the WxDialog class. OnXXX are non-virtual in WxWidgets, but virtual in wxruby-swig

I just grabbed the latest wxruby-swig from cvs and tried to compile it (without enabling the SWIG step) on my gentoo Linux box. I get: g++ -c -I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-2.4 -DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -D__WXGTK__ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -O2 -march=athlon-xp -fPIC -I /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.4.8/bin -I /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.4.8/lib -I

Attached is a patch for Swig that at least allows us to link the library. I am experiencing a number of bugs that will need to be tracked down and squashed. I haven''t even had time to look at the newer Swig features yet.

Hello, I am a newbie to wx and wxruby, I just built wxruby2 on my gentoo box. At first it did not work. So I post a little message,it might help others. At first a cryptic message was shown SWIG Version 1.3.21 Copyright (c) 1995-1998 University of Utah and the Regents of the University of California Copyright (c) 1998-2003 University of Chicago Compiled with i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++

I''m trying to build wxruby-swig on windows with the idea of building a windows installer for it. I think that this would go a long way toward encouraging windows developers to try out wxruby-swig. What do you think? Are we far enough along to contemplate a release? Building wxruby-swig on windows is actually going pretty smoothly, but I want to build it with vc++ 7.1 to match the

Hi All, I am trying to compile WxRuby on Ubuntu 6.06. I checked out the latest source code from CVS and ran ''rake'' under the wxruby2 directory. I am getting the following error. root@imayam:/work/wxruby/wxruby2# rake (in /work/wxruby/wxruby2) rake aborted! Don''t know how to build task ''src/App.cpp'' (See full trace by running task with --trace) I am

This one includes the latest App.cpp which includes the Mac fix from Nick. I thought it was in 0.0.11, but it wasn''t. It also adds support for "stock objects", like colours, pens, and fonts. This turned out to be quite challenging, but I''m happy with the solution. It only took a few days :-/ Kevin

I just checked out a fresh copy and had to tweak wxIcon.h to get it to compile on Mac OS X and windows. The problem is with: wxIcon(const wxString& filename, wxBitmapType type = wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM, int desiredWidth=-1, int desiredHeight=-1); that signature is only used on GTK on other systems it is: wxIcon(const wxString& name, long

A while back there was a discussion about what version of WxWidgets to target with WxRuby-SWIG. I don''t remember seeing any resolution, but I gather that thus far WxRuby-SWIG has continued to target 2.4.2, with the thinking that WxRuby-SWIG would quickly mature to the point that it could replace WxRuby, and once that was done the focus would shift to working with 2.5.x.

A few days ago, someone asked me why I am using wxpp instead of SWIG. The question prompted me to revisit and re-evaluate SWIG, and I now believe it would be best to convert wxRuby to SWIG. SWIG has greatly improved its C++ support since the last time I looked at it, and I think its Ruby support has improved quite a bit as well. Also, now that I have written wxpp, I understand the nature of

Anyone on the list have some pointers for getting swig working properly on Windows? Anytime I reswig a file it breaks wx.cpp. I''m sure I''ve got a setup problem but I haven''t been able to put my finger on it yet. Roy
