I have a newly-installed Ubuntu linux box that I''m planning to use for wxruby development (thanks for the advice on remote desktops from this group). However, turns out that Ubuntu comes with GTK2.0, annd wxwidgets 2.6 is reportedly better and easier to build than 2.4.2 against this. Before I set off on a potentially fruitless compiling journey, I was wondering if anyone had had

How about this: we expose the known conversions of wxMBConv to wxruby global methods. Then we create a $WXSTRING_TO_RUBY and $RUBY_TO_WXSTRING globals that has a reference to those procs. In the ruby-string to wxString typemap, we use ruby to invoke $WXSTRING_TO_RUBY and $RUBY_TO_WXSTRING. That way, if people want a different method, they can write one (even a pure-ruby one) that changes the

I''ve just tried to build wxRuby on a debian/unstable (i386) platform. I went to rubyforge.org and downloaded wxruby-0.5-src.tar.gz. <http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/1254/wxruby-0.5-src.tar.gz> I have ruby 1.8.2 installed on my system. I needed to install the debian package ruby1.8-dev in order to get mkmf.rb. That solved my first problem. So then i ran "ruby

Salut alex. J''ai une question a propos de wx::statictext(wxruby2) est-il possible de mettre les accents pour la langue française?, car pour l''instant je ne peut pas mettre l''accentuation alors que ça marche bien avec "wxruby". merci Sebastien _______________________________________________ wxruby-users mailing list wxruby-users@rubyforge.org

Hi I''ve built WxWidgets (2.5.4) and wxruby-swig (CVS) from source on OS X (.3). I''ve got something called wx.bundle in lib/ that looks the right sort of size - 2.5MB - but I don''t know what to do with it to install it - no rake install or make install? btw - wx on OS X looks fantastic, esp after seeing a Tk interface inside Aqua this am ... cheers alex

Hi, I just setup a CentOS 6 desktop with the nux-dextop repository activated. When installing GIMP (yum install gimp), I get a gimp package as well as a gimp28 package. I understand this is the Nux-Dextop GIMP 2.8 package. Unfortunately this doesn't work so well with my system. It's not localized (menus appear in english, though the system is in French), the main GTK theme (Murrina

All, As some of you know, Jeroen has added support for Unicode strings in the unstable development version of FOX (version 1.5). I''m trying to plan ahead to decide how best to support this for FXRuby 1.6, but I don''t really know anything about Ruby''s support for Unicode or i18n in general. If you''re familiar with this topic (how/if Ruby deals with Unicode

Dear wxruby users I''ve been trying to get wxruby-based weft-qda 0.9.6 running on a linux from scratch 6.1 system (this list had a discussion about weft-qda last year and alex fenton''s also been trying to help me out - no luck so far). I get stuck with wxruby 0.60 (I think). I compiled wxruby against wxGTK 2.4.2 (without gtk2, without unicode - gtk+ version is 1.2.10) - after

I ran across a problem today in which some code ran fine in regular operation but failed in a test case. I scratched my head and thought "why would running from within the test harness change the behavior of my code?" Clearly it was the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in action! :) I discovered the root cause was that the rspec runner is setting the magical ruby global, $KCODE, to

Hello! First, thank you Julian for the useful plugin ''unicode_hacks'' < http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/unicode_hacks/>. I have found some problems running my app in development on Webrick and looking at it with Safari (MacOS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2). Some files are sent with different sizes (e.g. default css example, or controls.js ), and it

Hi, I''ve got a preliminary version of the pure Ruby version of win32-dir in CVS. However, I was hoping to work out the Unicode issue. Run this: from = "C:\\test" to = "?????" Dir.mkdir(from) unless File.exists?(from) Dir.create_junction(to, from) It works, but my explorer (and dos) window shows the name garbled. I don''t think it''s a font

I just recently upgraded a rails app of mine to run on edge (and the 1-2-pre-release branch) and I noticed my fcgis required roughly 6-8MBs more memory after just a couple requests. For example, each fcgi on edge would start around 40MB and rise to ~46MBs after a couple requests. I downgraded my app back to 1.1.6 and each fcgi would start at around 33MBs and rise to ~38MB. As a result of the
