Hi,
I’m looking for a free windows editor for programming in ruby. It
should at least support syntax highlightening.
Thanks
PS: I posted already (got no answer yet) for a friend who tries to get
the gd-library-functions to work with ruby. Is there something special
to know about? He already managed to get it to work with perl and php.

When I developed on windows I used Eclipse with the ruby plugin. It had
everything I needed at the time.
You could also try FreeRIDE. Just google for either…

The windows installer comes with SciTE. I’m happy with it.

Hi,
your might like to try ‘Syn’
http://syn.sourceforge.net/
It come with syntax highlighting (for Ruby, too) can can be configured
to run your programs, to create RDocs and to run, say, your unit tests
quite easily (You DO write unit tests, do you

Windows editor? RDE
http://homepage2.nifty.com/sakazuki/rde_e.html
regarding GD lib, I’m on windows haven’t got a problem using it, are you
using the pragprog ruby install? mingw? I use the later, didn’t tried
compiling gd myself, got the binary from the /binaries/mingw|mswin/ext
folder in a mirror
for mingw
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ext/ruby-GD-0.7.4-i386-mingw32-1.8.tar.gz
for mswin didn’t see one, but most probably the mingw would work with
the mswin install(but I could be wrong), just unpack the GD.so to the
right dir i.e. ruby/lib/1.8/i386-msvcrt , the i386-msvcrt could be
different on mswin install, just look where the other *.so are.
and thats if using ruby-GD, see:
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/cat.rhtml?category_major=Library;category_minor=Graphics
SciTE is great until you find Crimson Editor. http://www.crimsoneditor.com
Crimson isn’t perfect, but it offers a lot of things that are really nice to
have that I’ve found SciTE doesn’t offer ATM.

free -open-source - great plug-in support
it’s java, so when you dump windows, you can still use it. I use it on
the mac,linux and windows.
I’d switch to latest scite. It has features missing in sciute 1.41,
like tab support

Seconded. SciTE is probably one of the most underrated editors you
can get. I love it.
I use a recent version tweaked for PHP though.

He inserted GD.so in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\i386-mswin32 and run his
Script again… here the error:
test.rb:62: undefined method `colorAllocate’ for
#GD::Image:(100x100) (NoMethodError)
Strange, isn’t it?

I Installed the ruby-180-10, just to check it out and using the example.rb:

run the line require ‘GD’ does it gives an error by itself?

It looks nice, but it doesn’t seem to support code folding, nor does it have
syntax coloring for numbers.
Otherwise, it looks nice, and the latest version seemed to handle Ruby
coloring just fine (though it was a bit confusing because Ruby wasn’t listed
in the “Syntax Type” list). I didn’t have to download the special Ruby
Syntax Coloring file you linked to; it was already there when you install
3.60.

Crimson looks like a less-mature version of textpad (textpad.com).
I use textpad when I have to use windows, its what Codewrite used to be,
until it bloated beyond all belief.
Cheers
Sam
I just downloaded and installed Crimson (v 3.6) and it included Ruby syntax
highlighting in the installation.

If it’s a “Codewrite like” editor you want (ie project workspace
management, integrated version control, scripting, class browsing,
intellisensing etc) but without the bloat then you might want to
take a look at zeus.

FreeRIDE is supports syntax highlighting, code folding, and has a
source-code navigation tree (show/navigate by module, class, method):
http://freeride.rubyforge.org
FreeRIDE is written in Ruby, and also has a visual debugger. Unfortunately,
the debugger only works under linux at the moment (I still need to find
extra time to find and fix the debugger problem under windows).
