Great! Thank you for your efforts! Axel

Great, if it is possible, it would be *the* definitive solution for Tk with Ruby. If you have a recipe on how to build this full Ruby/Tk distrib from sources, I could test it on Macosx and some linux. These source would be : - ruby-1.9xxx - tcltk-8.5xxx or tcltk-8.6xxx My idea would be to create a stand alone ruby sumo distrib (rubylab ?) with Ruby + Tk + Qt + FFI + some science selected extensions. (This would be the last alternative before switching from Ruby to Pihton :-( ) But as I'm not very clever in compilation, this will take some time... Cordialement, -- Maurice

Just want to mention that there will be a Qt- Ruby-Gem for Windows release very soon. For Linux there should be pre- build packages available for most common distributions.

If all you need is swing or the eclipse swt you're good to go (there's examples of ruby wrapping the swt in the redcar project). -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

One more thought, on my feeling from what I read in this newsgroup about Ruby/Tk on Windows: _Until_ a very good solution is available, I think, it would be good to have a clear description on how to install Ruby/Tk on Windows, using for example ActiveTCL, and having binaries for download. Something like Roger Pack provides, but even more. Axel |
