similar to: Building wxruby-swig for Mac

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

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

This fixes the wxRED Mac link error. Thanks to Nick for pointing out that I hadn''t removed some wxRED code related to an earlier experiment. Hopefully this one will build on Mac, end-to-end. I also found and fixed a problem that was causing the crash on exit: wxWindows automatically deletes the C++ app object as soon as the last frame is closed. Later, when ruby garbage collected the

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

Grabbed 0.0.16 and tried a build for kicks. ...all good, except for a warning in MenuBar.cpp, then... g++ -c -I/usr/local/lib/wx/include/mac-2.4 -D__WXMAC__ -DWXMAKINGDLL -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -fno-common -fno-common -pipe -fno-common -x objective-c++ -I /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/rake-0.3.2/lib -I /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8 -I

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

since http://nqxml.sourceforge.net/ also recommends that we switch to use rexml which is shipped with ruby? If there are plans for it but no developers, I might take it up as an exercise to learn the internals of wxruby-swig. Cheers, Phuah Yee Keat

Swig''s bad interface generation strikes again. get_text_extent called with 1 argument maps to WindowDC''s _wrap_wxWindowDC_GetTextExtent__SWIG_0 Since this generates a wxFont that''s not initialized to nil it fails when calling into wxWindows. Anyone have a suggestion?

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

The only changes are Nick''s Mac fixes to the rakefile and App.i. This might be "the one" for Macs. Kevin

Hello again, I''m noticing that many of the headers in swig/classes/include have the comment: // This file was automatically generated // by extractxml.rb, part of the wxRuby project // Do not make changes directly to this file! Is this still the case, or was this just a one-time conversion? 228 out of 441 files in that directory don''t have the comment. I ask this because

Since I''m setting up my development environment on a new system, I figure now is the time to get rid of one of the extra dependencies: NQXML. It appears that REXML can now parse the whole classes xml file in about 20 seconds on this machine, which is a huge improvement over the many, many minutes it used to take. So I am now updating extract.rb to use REXML instead of NQXML.

Ok. I seem to be having some real problems today :) There is a link from the main page straight to the Wx::Frame tutorial, under the NEWS section. http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl Sorry for wasting everyone''s time :( Robert _________________________________________________________________ Getting married?

Hello, wxruby-users. This is an addition which implement wrapper for overloading wxHtmlWindow::OnLinkClicked method. Unfortunately, it was impossible to make it correctly without ugly hack to wxpp.rb, but i`m hope it does not broke it. Please look at attachment for a patch for htmlwindow.t and wxpp.rb and additional file htmllinkinfo.t (need to be added to $objs array in extconf.rb). Sample

Tonight, I generated a full set of almost 400 swiggable .h files, one for each wxWidgets class. I used the big xml file that I mentioned earlier, which itself was (apparently) scraped from the wxWidgets html help files. Several interesting notes: 1. REXML took forever to parse the 2.5 meg xml file. I didn''t want to do stream processing, and hoped to stay with a pure-ruby solution,

I have a bit of a problem with installation. I installed wxX11 in my linux box. I compiled the demos and all the demos, save dbbrowse, work. I think I have a functional wx. Now I''m trying to install wxRuby from source, since I have a 64 bit machine. I only have permission to my home directory so my installation is : /usr/people/stevenq/Applications/wxX11/

I am using Ruby feedparser and when I try to parse this feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Mobilecrunch I get an error: REXML::ParseException: Declarations can only occur in the doctype declaration.

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.
