Ok I've unzipped this thing now how do I install it? And what would I do if you didn't make me this? I'd really like to get the original problem fixed and figure out how to get the 1.8.x source compiled and working as in that tutorial. I'd like to know how to get the proper files in the right place and understand what I'm doing not "click one button and have it magically work". I don't want to start getting sidetracked. How can I build the 1.8.x source properly with tk and avoid this error? That was my original question. I also need to get this working on my Unix machine next (or in parallel). As far as I know there is no "one-click installer" for that. I need to know what goes where. Aren't there any install instructions anywhere? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This tutorial is # Because I'm not familiar with development on Windows, the following # may be wrong. On Ruby/Tk, Ruby links tcltklib.so and links dynamic link librariies of Tcl/Tk. If Ruby's core is a 32bit binary and Tcl/Tk DLLs are 64bit binaries, Ruby cannot link Tcl/Tk DLLs. It's not about OS, but consistency between an executable and DLLs. Which version of ActiveTcl did you download? If its platform is "Windows (x86)", it is 32bit version of Tcl/Tk. But if you download "Windows (64-bit, x64)", then 64bit. How does "ruby.exe -v" describe? If it includes "x86-mswin32", then it is a 32bit executable. Else if includes "x64-mswin64", then a 64bit. If your Tcl/Tk is 64bit and your compiler can make 64bit binaries, please try "--target=x64-mswin64" configure option. If your compiler can make 32bit binaries only, please download and install a 32bit version of ActiveTcl. -- Hidetoshi NAGAI (nagai(a)ai.kyutech.ac.jp) Department of Artificial Intelligence, Kyushu Institute of Technology
From: Rich Leblanc on 21 Jul 2010 02:03 Actually I would like to get this fixed on my Unix machine too. I'm getting this same error. I have tcl8.5.8 installed and Ruby 1.8.7. How can I get it to work on Unix? Maybe if I get that working I'll understand what I'm supposed to do on Windows. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The issue is that all existing tutorials are written with ruby-tk in mind, some of the API is different. -- Michael Fellinger CTO, The Rubyists, LLC

Maybe if I get that working I'll Please tell me the directories of your Tcl/Tk headers/libraries, and configure options which you gave at first step of compiling. Probably, ext/tk/extconf.rb outputs some messages about searching and testing Tcl/Tk libraries (and {tcl,tk}Config.sh) during make steps. Please tell me the messages, too. -- Hidetoshi NAGAI (nagai(a)ai.kyutech.ac.jp) Department of Artificial Intelligence, Kyushu Institute of Technology |
