similar to: Debug and Release builds of the wxRuby Windows Installer

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,

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 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

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

Just to let you know Curt the new debug build works perfectly for me ... well nearly. Trying to run the controls.rbw example generates an error dialog "Debug" "E:\dev\RubyDev\wx\src\common\ctrlsub.cpp(120): assert "m_clientDataItemsType == wxClientData_Void" failed: this window doesn''t have void client data Do you want to stop the program? You can also choose

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.

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''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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi everyone, I''m a bit new to rails, but I have played around with it for the last month. I really enjoy programming in rails and I feel that I should program my new application through this framework. I am very exited when I start creating my scaffolds and views, there is some sense of accomplishment. Now I would really like to make a search function my page that would search through

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.

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 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
