wxruby users - Jan 2004 - Windows readme and last patch

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 Andy''s one-click Windows installer for Ruby (version
1.8.0) and you would like to test my windows installer for wxRuby, let me
know and I will send you a URL to download it (when its ready). I would like
someone besides myself to test it before we released it.

Thanks,
Curt

I can download Andy''s installer and test a little bit.

Curt,

I am running from a fairly recent download of that installer (ruby180-10.exe) on
a Win2k system.  If you send me the URL, I will give it a try.

I''m looking forward to giving wxRuby a try!

Thanks,
Dan Teitsort

You can download it here:

    http://curthibbs.us/wxruby-mswin-0.2_debug.zip

At the moment this installer assumes that you installed ruby at the default
location (c:\ruby). I will fix this later.

Great. Sorry it took me so long to merge them, but they are checked in now.

I see that for each platform, we will need separate README files for the 
source release and the binary release. I''m not that familiar with how 
other cross-platform packages handle that. Does anyone have suggestions?

Also, I will be on vacation pretty much the whole month of February. 
Thus, it is important that I find the time to complete the 0.2 release 
by about January 24. Preferably sooner, of course.

It looks like the Windows binary is in great shape. I still need to do 
at least a binary .so tarball for Linux. Nick seemed pessimistic about 
Mac support, but his most recent email was more encouraging.

Is there anything else we need to do?

No problem.

For Windows, I just put information on building debug and release versions
in one readme file. I don''t think we need separate readmes (this will
make
them easier to maintain, as well).

We can go ahead with a 0.2 release with whatever platforms are ready at that
time and then continue to add binary builds for more platforms as they
become available.

Make sure you label the cvs repository.
