I’m having trouble compiling FXRuby under cygwin. here’s the error i’m
getting, then i’ll explain a little more about my setup:
$ ruby install.rb setup

this is running with ruby-1.6.8 (compiled under the latest cygwin too,
plus i’ve tried it with ruby 1.8.0 with the same results). I’ve
modified the Makefiles in FXRuby to use gcc-2/g+±2 (cygwin now
defaults to gcc-3.2), but this hasn’t helped at all either
I got the same error using 1.8, but I dropped 1.8 and just installed the
Andy Hunt prebuilt binary version and got FXRuby pre-installed. It was a
lot easier than trying to come up with a solution to this.
Speaking of FxRuby, are you (or anyone else) just using FOX’s C++ docs and
mentally translating it to ruby to figure out how to do things? Coupled
with reading the examples? That’s what I’m doing at the moment, but if
there’s a nother source of ruby-esque docs, I’d love to know about it.

Hi Joey
At the moment that is what most people are doing, coupled with sometimes
looking in the C++ source code. (For instance I had to go digging to
find that when text is entered into a TextArea it raises a SEL_INSERTED
event, whereas a TextField raises a SEL_CHANGED event)
Lyle (the FXRuby maintainer) is working on building up a “proper” set of
documentation for FXRuby though but its slow going I believe.
It’s funny how aquaintences pop up in different places…

That’s what I figured. I did get a minimal UI built yesterday during lunch
that is almost there, but it was all from example-reading and stuff at fox-toolkit.org. Then I discovered FXDataTargets (very similar to
Smalltalk’s adaptors) and started rewriting it…

Mmm, it does appear to be a rather small world
Its good to see you here.

Yeah, it really is the way to go at the moment Though the docs
pointed out by Daniel look to be quite useful.
Then I discovered FXDataTargets (very similar to
Smalltalk’s adaptors) and started rewriting it…
I just meant that I had written it to fetch each text widget’s text
directly and pass it to my object. But then I discovered FXDataTarget that
would allow me to wire the widget directly to the attributes of my
underlying class and have the values populate automatically. So I ripped
out my original code and started working with datatargets.
Though the docs
