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 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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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''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.

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 ..

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

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''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.

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

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.

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
