similar to: wxruby-swig on Windows & possible release

Has anybody tried the new wxruby-swig from the msvc++ command line compiler using ''rake''? The rakefile seems to depend on the wx_config method, which doesn''t exist for msw because it doesn''t have BASH to execute the shell script. Has anyone hacked the rakefile to fix this? Nick

When operating with a wxGrid is there a way to get a reference to the TextCtrl field that is created when you start typing in a cell. Also is there a way to get mouse events to work with a wxGrid, so far I can''t get any of them to work. I had tried various combo''s of: @grid.evt_left_down(){ |event| puts "Left mouse is down"; } using evt_left_down, evt_left_up,

Last week I was struggling to get xrc built into wxRuby and finally got it to compile. The problem I am now having is that the normal samples are not working at all (have not even tried any xrc stuff yet). So to test if it is a problem with xrc or my build process I tried compiling wxRuby without XRC, this caused the same error to be printed out as the failed XRC build. The output (in both

I have a first cut of a windows installer for wxRuby available for testing. It can be downloaded with this URL: http://curthibbs.us/wxruby-mswin-0.2_debug.zip This installer currently assumes that you have installed Ruby from Andy Hunt''s one-click Ruby Installer for Windows, *and* that you have installed it in the default directory (C:\ruby). I still need to figure out how to read

wxRuby 0.4.0 has been released and is now available for download from RubyForge at http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/ . This release includes binary builds for Max OS X Panther and MS Windows. Please report any bugs or feature requests here: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=35 Changes in this release include: * Many bugs were fixed. * Added grid sample program. * Windows binary now includes

The CVS module has been renamed from wxruby-swig to wxruby2, and I have checked in the related changes to reflect the name change. Anyone with a CVS tree will need to re-checkout from CVS because of the module name change. There is now a wx.rb in the lib/ directory, which loads the wxruby2 shared library that gets built. I have tagged this as 0.0.22. Next steps: - Apply Choice.i patch from

I''m just trying to plan out my week, and I wanted to see how everyone felt about a 0.5.0 release of wxRuby (not wxruby-swig). Are we ready for this? If not, what remains to be done? Curt

Kevin, I have attached a readme file for windows, and a patch file for extconf.rb (I slightly tweaked my settings). Tomorrow night I will work in the windows installer. For the this first cut I will do the installer packaging by hand. But for the future release I want to fully script the installer packaging and check the script and installer in to cvs. Call for Volunteers: If you are running

I performed a get on the CVS WxRuby2; I have installed wxWidgets 2.6.3 and SWIG 1.3.29. Additionally I am running Visual Studio on Windows XP. When I run rake to compile I receive the following error. App.cpp c:\wxWidgets-2.6.3/include\wx/platform.h(190) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ''wx/setup.h'': No such file or directory rake aborted! Command failed with

Any chance you could commit changes into cvs

Curt, I just downloaded and tried your installer and the installation went fine. There are problems with the samples not finding their images files, but only when I try to run the samples from their Start menu shortcuts. When I edit the properties of a shortcut, and change the "Start in" folder to match the folder where the sample resides, then the problems go away. (As-installed,

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

Any chance of incrementing the ol'' version number a bit more aggressively? Doing so could really help wxRuby adoption if done right: http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2003/07/28/version_numbers_and_you -- Ryan "John" Platte Custom services, NIKA Consulting http://nikaconsulting.com/

I just found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ I don''t tend to pay much attention to Microsoft and MS Windows, so perhaps everyone else already knew about it. Basically, they have released a command-line-only version of their C++ compiler and libraries for free (gratis) downloading. I assume this version would be able to compile wxRuby, but would be

Kevin, were you planning to do a linux tarball or RPM for 0.3 before focusing on the SWIG version? I think its important for many obvious reasons, but I''ll just mention the one that prompted me to write this email. In the long term, I''d like to see wxRuby become the standard GUI toolkit for ruby, and I am simultaneously working several fronts to help make that happen. My

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

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

Hmm everything installed fine but when I try to run the samples I get an error dialog stating: "rubyw.exe - unable to Locate Component This application has failed to start because MSVCRTD.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Which unless you are supplying the debug microsoft dll''s, re-installing will have no effect :) This was on WinXP

I''m fairly new to the Ruby world, particularly WxRuby, so please forgive me if this is ground that''s been covered in the past. I''m trying to load a frame from an XRC file (created using DialogBlocks), and I''m having trouble getting an instance of the Gauge object using the Wx::Window.find_window_by_xxx methods. I''m trying this on Windows XP,
