You know, I'm just going to stop here because your email is just all over the place. You say you're running Ubuntu, right? Why not just install the packages for fox, i.e. sudo apt-get install libfox-1.6-dev And then install FXRuby from the gem: sudo gem install fxruby Hope this helps, Lyle P.S.

But with this approach you're going to do all alone.

I think you're right, its probably time to converge the current code to a new stable version as soon as possible. It hasn't reached the goals I'd set for the 1.8 release, as a result of the lack of time [and energy] due to my home construction project. Fortunately that will be drawing to a close in the next few months, and I should be able to resume the pace at that time. In the meantime, I do believe you're right, and that its worth it to focus on converging the current code into a releasable state, wrap up a few loose ends, and get it into shape for the 1.8 release.

I have just released FXRuby 1.6.19, which should take care of this problem. > In doc/* section you have swig 1.3.22 as only alternative and in > another place > you have swig from cvs. So I wrote I have 1.3.35 installed from > ubuntu, because > that last Init_core error might be somehow caused by bad version of > swig. > I have no problem to install any other version - or you expect me > trying all variants. If it depends on fixed swig version - check for > it. And update doc/* OK. I've just updated the docs and have made a note that the build script should check which version of SWIG is being used, to confirm that it's the right version. I have actually made some fixes on the trunk (for what will eventually be FXRuby 1.8) to support the latest versions of SWIG, but I'm waiting on the release of FOX 1.8 for those. That would lift this restriction on using such an old version of SWIG. > I was curious if there exist a simple way to wrap other non-official > fox classes > to be used from ruby.

But you'd want to look at how the FXScintilla widget is supported in FXRuby as a guide. > As first step I tried to compile developers version from github. > That's all. OK. We really need some sort of hacker's guide to FXRuby. There has just never been much interest from anyone for that, so it has taken low priority.

But, when I try to install FXRuby, either via a gem or via source, the linker reports the error: cannot find -lXrandr I found Xrandr libs in /usr/X11R6/lib & lib64. Why is it that fox seems to find Xrandr, but FXRuby cannot? I am pointing to the fox libs during the FXRuby build, i.e. set path = ( . /srv/ruby-1.8.7/bin etc...) ruby install.rb config -- --with-fox-include=/srv/ruby-1.8.7/include/fox-1.6 --with-fox-lib=/srv/ruby-1.8.7/lib It's as if the FXRuby build is clueless about the location of the X11 libs. I can go in and hack the Makefile under the rug, but that just seems wrong. What's the best way to fix this? Is there a way to pass in the X11 lib path to install.rb so that it creates the Makefile correctly? Any help would be appreciated.

Chris, Just wanted you to know that I'm not ignoring this---just haven't had a chance to look into it yet. Will try to do so this weekend. I know that with gem installs you have some degree of control, e.g. by setting CFLAGS or LDFLAGS before starting the gem installation, but I don't know that that works with this install.rb script. -- Lyle -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Currently I have an FXHeader with several headers in it and below it I have a text frame where data is output to. The output of data has not real formatting at the moment. Each field of data is seperated by a tab character in an array, which has join("\n") called on it to get it onto the GUI. This outputs the data in a messy manner as some strings in the fields are longer than other etc. Is there a way to say everything under heading A must not exceed 75 chars giving a nice structured list in columns. Each of my headings have set sizes but the text frame is just a text frame. Is this something that would need to be set in the array as the data is loaded into it?

Or is there something simple I can do in the GUI. It's a combination of the two, sort of. You will probably want to choose a fixed-width font for the FXText widget, and then format the text (i.e. your data array) such that each column's content doesn't exceed the width of the headers.

You are the only person who can answer this question. If you have a list of items that you'd like to display, so that the user can pick one or more items from that list, then yes, you might want to use FXList. Based on your earlier e-mail, it sort-of looked like you were trying to display tabular data (i.e. multiple rows and columns). If that's the case, you might want to use FXTable instead.

Using the GUI log files processed and line by line they are loaded into an array structure. I have broken this down into many array because one line that is pushed to the array as many pieces of data in it, below is an example line A B C D E F Now i have 6 different arrays, one a, one b and so on. I also have 6 different list areas on my GUI and I want my data to output to those lists, for example list[0].appendItem(arrayA) list[1].appendItem(arrayB) This however fails and gives a nasty error FYI before trying to append an item I call join("\n") on the data set and load the resulting data into a final array set which I want to add to the list.
