[Wxruby-users] The great MSVC wxruby-swig bug hunt!

Alright, I found out what was going on. I forgot to turn on RTTI in MSVC so SWIG
could work properly. There was also a mixup in App.i that wasn''t
kicking off
the main loop. So now MSVC has a wxruby-swig window!

I am still crashing on program exit (GC issue). I can''t get a MinGW
version to
build, but it''s because Rake won''t work with MSYS. I need to
send an email
their way to see if it''s ever been tested with the MinGW toolchain.

Also, is there any reason to blow away the lib directory on a clean?
I''ve always
had problems with that due to MSVC putting more than just the .so file in
there. I also suggest changing delete_files_in to:

def delete_files_in(dir)
    Dir[File.join(dir, "*")].each do |f|
        if !(f =~ /CVS/)
        	force_delete(f)
        end
    end
end

this might make life a little easier.

Thats all for now,

Nick
