similar to: wxRuby Windows installer available for testing

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,

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

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

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

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 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

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.

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

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

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

I''ve gotten a lot farther building wxRuby than I did a few months ago. But its getting late here and I''m going to bed. In the meantime, does anyone know why I''m getting this compile error: Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998.

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. Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour@mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

I guess this is mostly for Curt, but I wanted to toss it out there. I could really use a wiki to capture the information that gets posted to this list. Eventually we''ll want FAQ''s and HOWTO''s, as well as a "real" manual, and the wiki is great for collecting raw material. Also, we should have links to related projects, like wxrbbr, and projects written in

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

This long-awaited version is available from rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/projects/wxruby/ The big news, of course, is that it includes binary builds for MS Windows and Mac OS X Panther. I may add one or more Linux binaries later, or they may have to wait for 0.3. This is still an early beta release, so it still has a number of known problems. If you find a problem that is not mentioned

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

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

What IDE can be used with InstantRails I have installed ?InstantRails-1.3a-win? on my PC. When I first started the InstantRails, an error message said something about unable to start Apache because Port 80 being used by another process. I went to change the Apache Port 80 and List 80 to Port 4001 and Listen 4001 respectively. I was ratrher pleased that ?phpmyadmin? was working at

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,
