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.

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

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

While trying to develop a little wxruby program, I have some difficulties, namely: 1. I want to read all kind of graphic files, (mainly jpg, png and tiff is enough...) But, the current implementation seems to deal only with bmps and currently there is no way to call ::wxInitAllImageHandlers. 2. I think DnD is required in my case: I want to drop filenames on a TreeCtrl. I will try to add

Hello to all! Since nobody replied and expressed desire to take over README.mingw32, I wrote short instructions how to build wxruby with MinGW compiler in MSYS environment. Considering that wxruby can be of interest to some Ruby users not so familiar with C++ and/or wxWindows (I''m one of them :-), I included some notes on installing MinGW & MSYS, building wxWindows library, Ruby ..

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 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

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 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

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

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

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! Why not automagically delete generated header files like this? File.open("Makefile","ab+"){|f| f.puts f.puts("tclean:; @$(RM) "+(Dir[''*.t''].map{|fn| fn.sub(''.t'',''.h'')}.join)) f.puts } Reduces user error :) Gergo -- +-[ Kontra, Gergely<kgergely@mcl.hu> PhD student Room IB113 ]---------+ |

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''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

Greetings to everyone on our new list! As I mentioned before, I will be traveling from 8/27 through 9/8. I will be almost completely disconnected from the internet, so don''t be offended if you don''t hear from me during that time. Before I go, I would like to release wxRuby 0.1. I know we still have several problems, but we can always fix those in 0.2. Therefore, I propose

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.

This patch fixes the following: - You can now use rake to build on Windows. - You can now use rake install to install the lib, no more extconf.rb needed! This should be cross platform, I took some code for installing from the Makefile that extconf.rb generated as a basis. I have tested it on OS X and will test tomorrow on Windows, I am 95% it will work cross platform. - I did get Windows

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,

Hello, I''m having problems using the widgets Wx::Http*, such as Wx::HtmlWindow, Wx::HtmlEasyPrinting, etc.. The error I got is "uninitialized constant Wx::HtmlWindow". The code is correct since I''m trying to execute samples in the html/ directory. All other samples work. I can''t even see that widgets doing require ''wxruby'';
