wxruby users - Jul 2005 - Wx::Html* widgets

Hello,
I''m having problems using the widgets Wx::Http*, such as
Wx::HtmlWindow, Wx::HtmlEasyPrinting, etc..
The error I got is "uninitialized constant Wx::HtmlWindow". The code
is correct since I''m trying to execute samples in the html/ directory.
All other samples work. I can''t even see that widgets doing

require ''wxruby''; ObjectSpace.each_object(Class) {|c| p c if
c.name =~ /Wx/}

I see all the widgets but the html* ones.

Is this a problem of mine or the html widgets aren''t still bound to
Ruby?

I''m using WxRuby 0.6.0 on GNU/Linux (compiled on my pc)

Thanks, Domenico

Hi,

I forget why, but the html classes are specifically omitted from Linux 
builds of wxruby 0.6. You can try enabling them to see if whatever 
problem caused us to disable them has perhaps been fixed. In extconf.rb, 
you should see this section:

if /linux/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM  or /freebsd/ =~ RUBY_PLATFORM
     CONFIG[''CC''] = `wx-config --cxx`
     CONFIG[''LDSHARED''].gsub!("gcc",`wx-config
--cxx`.strip)
     $CFLAGS += " `wx-config --cxxflags`"
     $LDFLAGS += " `wx-config --libs` 
-Wl,--version-script,./version-script "
     ["htmlprocessor.o", "htmlwindow.o",
"htmleasyprinting.o"].each do |str|
         $objs.delete(str)
     end
     if ($use_xrc)
         $LDFLAGS += " -lwx_gtk2_xrc-2.4 "
     end

Just comment out the $objs.delete(str) line (and perhaps the line above 
and the line below also). Then re-run extconf.rb and attempt the make. I 
doubt it will work, but if you report the problems we can try to figure 
out whether it is solveable or not.

Uhm.. strangely it works :-)
It seems to work without any problems (except the fact it cant find
the image handler when a html widget try to render an image, but that
is not a problem for me)
I think that lines should be deleted since they aren''t useful (at
least in my case)

Thank you for the help and for the wxruby bindings :-)

PS: what about creating a .deb package? ;-)

I''ll try to do that soon :)
