Hi, I am making a game with Ruby/SDL and have run into trouble finding a GUI to cooperate. I have seen numerous examples of wxWindows in combination with SDL (wxPython and PyGame), but have yet to be able to do it in ruby (PyGame example: http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/IntegratingPyGame). I am not very good with wxRuby as this is my first time using it and thought some more knowledgable users could help me out. Thanks! Steve
Hello Steve, I''ve taken a stab at making Ruby/SDL work with wxRuby. The short answer is, you can''t (easily) make it work with 0.9.4 of Ruby/SDL. I''m attempting to compile 0.9.5 but there''s no makefile for it. The issue is that in order to make SDL live in an existing window you have to set an environment variable. Sadly, setting the environment variable in Ruby doesn''t cause it to be available to SDL. 0.9.5 has a putenv function that should allow for setting the environment variable. Frankly, having to set your windowID as an environment variable seems like the most backwards way of specifying it. Also, I will have to submit a patch to Window.i for wxRuby2 as get_handle doesn''t return a value you can use.

Very cool. I was wondering if the patch was applied in the latest CVS as I have Ruby/SDL 0.9.5 installed (Gentoo) and could test out the code.

This is the code I was going to use. It''s not really smart but it
might
work! My patch to fix the get_handle for wxRuby2 isn''t applied yet.
Maybe this''ll work with 0.6 if you change the require to
''wxruby''. I
don''t know, I don''t have the old version installed.

No dice.
I get an X Windows Error (I had to remove the SDL_VIDEODRIVER line,
because it seemed Windows specific) when I run it ("serial 45 error_code
3 request_code 3 minor_code 0"). It was a BadWindow error so it was most
likely something to do with get_handle and WindowID.

Ah, well, I suppose I should have pointed out it was Win32 specific. You can take what I have there and crib off the other part of the page you linked to before. Perhaps on *nix you can actually use the ENV part.
