FXRuby and OS X 10.2 (Re: ANN: FXRuby-1.0.17 Now Available)

Hey Lyle (and Jim),

If you have any insight at all into what’s wrong it would be helpful.
I’m a little hamstrung by the lack of direct access to a Mac OS X box of
my own, and it’s been suprisingly difficult to find good information on
the web. This is the kind of problem that I can usually muddle through
with Google’s help but no such luck this time :wink:

I’m still muddling my way through this, but there is one question: was ruby compiled with --enable-shared? That can cause a lot of issues on OS X. I’m sure there’s more, maybe you can Google something for “framework” stuff.

I get the same errors on this machine, so it’s not:

  1. OS X 10.1 vs. 10.2
  2. –enable-shared (although other options may be needed)
  3. Fox (I think - since the Fox examples work)

We’re also having issues getting Ruby/Tk to compile and function under OS X natively (although it works dandy under Fink). I don’t know if it will prove remotely helpful for you, but you could always look over our notes on the Rubygarden Wiki:

Yes, Ruby was compiled with --enable-shared. I’m going back and
recompiling everything with all of the debugging stops pulled out (i.e.
-g3 instead of -g) to see if it coughs up any more interesting information.

OK, well we’re at least consistent :wink:

I have looked at those notes, although I don’t think anything there yet
addresses this particular problem. If – no, when :wink: – we get this
problem licked, I’ll be sure to document it on one of those Wiki pages too.

Thanks for the help,

Lyle
