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

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''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

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 ..

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.

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

I finally got a clean compile and link for wxRuby. Now I''m down to deciphering runtime errors. Once again, I''m going to pick up on this tomorrow, but I thought I''d post my console output tonight to see if anyone has any thoughts before I tackle this tomorrow. I''m running the same app "minimal.rb" E:\Dev\RubyDev\wxruby\samples\minimal>ruby

My system just upgraded itself to wxGtk 2.4.2. I re-built everything, and had no compile errors. The minimal sample worked fine. I haven''t had a chance to do more testing. But, it appears that wxruby is compatible with wxWindows 2.4.2. Kevin

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,

Today, I noticed that a completely clean build of wxRuby on my desktop machine is about 5.8 megs, but on my laptop is about 9.8 megs. Both computers are running Debian GNU/Linux, but my laptop is more of a mix of releases, whereas my desktop is almost entirely Sarge/Testing. Both are using gcc 3.3.3. In both cases, I did a full "get", and did a make from scratch. Any ideas about

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,

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

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 believe I have followed Gour''s instructions to the letter for compiling wxwindows, ruby and wxruby. Indeed all of the compilation stages have worked flawlessly, however when I try to ruby any of the samples I get an error dialog "This application has failed to start because wxmsw241d.dll was not found ...." Looking in the c:/mingw/lib directory robertm@PC126 /mingw/lib $

Kevin, should we check this in to CVS as one of the our distributed samples?

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
