Hi I''m currently working through some of the bugs on the wxRuby tracker with a view to releasing an updated stable version of wxRuby 2.0. As Mac users will know, Apple''s move to 10.6 has created problems for wxRuby (as for other wx bindings). I''ve resolved some issues, but not others, and we will likely have to change the versions/platforms supported on OS X. I''d like any views on how undesirable the following would be: - dropping support for OS X 10.4 - dropping support for OS X 10.5 - dropping support for PPC (wxRuby 2.0 will become i386 only - 64-bit cannot be made to work) My preference is to support 10.5+ on i386, but would like to hear (either on-list or privately) if that is likely to bother a lot of people... alex _______________________________________________ wxruby-users mailing list wxruby-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wxruby-users
Hi Given how Apple treats 10.5 (no Apple Store, last OSX to support PPC) I''d vote for not supporting it - Lion is coming and it will make 10.5 even more irrelevant. Just my 2 cents. ?ukasz -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Hello. Any news on full support for OSX 10.6 and 10.7? "sudo gem install wxruby" is still installing 32-bit gem on both Snow Leopard and Lion and this is not very good for end-users :(. It seems that wxRuby is the only Ruby GUI available for OSX right now (no qtruby4 gem for OSX, ruby-gtk gem will not event compile on 10.6+, Tk is not included and very hard to install). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

But this is more work that anyone has taken on so far.> It seems that wxRuby is the only > Ruby GUI available for OSX right now (no qtruby4 gem for OSX, ruby-gtk > gem will not event compile on 10.6+, Tk is not included and very hard to > install).Blame Apple ;) How about MacRuby? alex
