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 professional & ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32] (Andy Hunt''s release) Rob>>> "Curt Hibbs" <curt@hibbs.com> 01/06/04 12:18am >>>I fixed the problem with the shortcuts to the sample apps.

(I really appreciate the detailed feedback -- this has been excellent!). Tonight I will post a release build installer (which won''t have the debug DLL problem) and a new debug build installer that includes microsoft DLL. Curt

Ok, I just posted another updated debug installer. As mentioned below, this
one also installs MSVCRTD.DLL if you don''t already have it on your
system.
The download URL is the same:
http://curthibbs.us/wxruby-mswin-0.2_debug.zip
Now I''m off to make a release build installer (hopefully, I''ll
post that
tonight).

Wanted to let people know I''m having a little trouble with getting a binary distro of wxruby for the Mac. It isn''t a code issue but a Macintosh issue. Short story: Macintosh command line applications cannot access the GUI interface. For that sort of access, you need to create an application ''bundle'', which for all intents and purposes is a directory with an XML ''manifest''. I''ve been creating Bundles for all my testing, but it is a compicated procedure and not one for the new Ruby user (the process confuses a lot of C/C++ programmers too). I know RubyCocoa allows apps to run from the command line, so I know it can be done. I haven''t had the time to investigate how they do it, but I''m planning to shortly. Of course, I appear to be the sole Mac OS X developer on this list, so I don''t know how many people this affects. ;-) For the record, the application ''bundle'' is a really cool flexible system. With a nip and tuck, Ruby apps boot just like other Macintosh applications, with all the necessary files (source, images, icons) as ''resources'' of the application. I hope to write a how-to about building Bundles for the release too, but thats assuming I find the time, since I still need to accomplish my life goals of conquering a third world nation and hunting Moby Dick... Later, Nick

This mac distribution issue has been up last year, when Craig had developed a nice general tool, that would run any script (ruby for sure) as an application with a gui. That approach, also taken by the wxPython folks, is much more flexible for the end user. Off course, how that ties in with all the needed libraries I would not know.

Thanks for the info Torsten. I''ve taken a look at the ScrUI tools, and I can use them for this first release.
