similar to: ANN: wxRuby 0.2.1 has been released!

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

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,

Ok, I now have both debug and release build installers for wxRuby 0.2 on windows. As I said in my earlier emails these are designed to install on top of Andy Hunt''s one-click Ruby Installer for Windows (version 1.8.0). In the start menu I create a wxRuby group with shortcuts to run the sample apps and to display "wxRuby Help" (which is just a freshly updated version of the

I finally got a working native windows build of wxRuby (using a static build of wxWindows so everything is in a single dll -- wxruby.so)! Two things contributed to my success: 1) building wxWindows with the vc++ makefiles (instead of the vc++ projects), and 2) very careful attention to compiler/linker flags specified in extconf.rb. Kevin, I had to modify app.cpp, depend, extconf.rb, and wx.h. I

I''m a bit new to working on a rubyforge/sourceforge/open source project, so excuse my obliviousness. What is the preferred way of submitting a patch to wxruby? Thanks, Nick

Hi! I am trying to build wxruby with statically linked wxWindows library, but so far - no luck - bunch of unresolved references during the linking phase. I''ve seen on the list that Curt was being able to build it, so any hint would be helpful. gcc 3.2.3 (MinGW 3.1.0) & MSYS 1.0.10rc2.

Hi! By visiting wxWindows site I''ve noticed that wxruby is not listed amongst other different bindings projects (Perl, Python, Lua, Java, Haskell ..) Is it possible to include it on the list? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour@mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

Wx::Font now supports almost all the methods of wxFont, which should be good news for anyone interested in rich text editing (FreeRIDE anyone?). These changes are checked in to CVS and my darcs repository. Thanks to Nobuaki Arima for submitting font support code. Although I didn''t actually use that font code, I did directly use the included sample file, and the changes to const.cpp.

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

Does anyone else here think that it might be a good idea to shift wxruby to use rake (http://rubyforge.org/projects/rake/) or perhaps one of the other "modern" build systems? One example of a task that would be trivial with rake, but seem to be really painful with make: Define a tclean target that deletes all the .h and .cpp files that are built from .t files. I''m not sure

As I mentioned in October (wow, time moves quickly!), there are two big items I would like to have in a 0.2 release of wxRuby: 1. Binary builds for as many platforms as possible 2. A document describing how to use the standard wxWindows/wxPython documentation to develop wxRuby apps In order for this to happen in any reasonable time frame, I will need help. For those of you here who are not

Many thanks to the 23 people who took the time to respond to the survey. It really will help me spend my time more effectively. As promised, here are the results. I have inserted some comments inside [brackets]. 1. Have you downloaded wxRuby? YES 19 NO 4 2. Have you successfully built wxRuby? YES 14 NO 8 [We really need binary downloads so people don''t have to build anything.

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

I''m not a Linux user. I suggest you subscribe to the wxRuby ML and get advice there from other Linux users. For the time being, I''ll cross-post this message to the wxRuby ML.

Hi! Since I switched from SuSE to Gentoo (before Novell era :-) I wrote a simple ebuild script for building wxruby on Gentoo. Few notes: a) in order to work, wxruby-0.1.0.tgz should contain wxruby-0.1.0 folder since it is a Gentoo policy and I hope it''s not a problem to change that for 0.2.0 b) I assumed that one needs Ruby >= 1.8.0 and wx >= 2.4.1. Is it OK? Please inspect

I sent a message to Julian (the primary author of wxWindows), and he immediately added wxRuby to the list of "Related Projects" on the "Community" page of the wxWindows site: http://wxwindows.org/ Thanks to Gour for suggesting this. We are also listed in the Ruby RAA, under Library, GUI. If anyone knows of other places we should be linked, let me know. Or better yet,
