Hi there... Is there someone who is successfully running qtruby with mswin32 and ruby 1.8.7 for qt v6.3? If that's you -- What did you need to install and do to get it working? Also for the qt people, I love the tutorials and examples -- BUT none of them say how to install a working set-up. If they do it is well hidden. All in all it seems that how the qt support is being done for ruby is far to complex. With ruby in particular the normal thing is just to load a gem and things work. Any ideas? Thanks,             Will ---

Hi, > Is there someone who is successfully running qtruby with mswin32 and > ruby 1.8.7 for qt v6.3? Not exactly, I'm found this following versions to work for me on Windows 7 64bit: ruby 1.9.1p430 ( rubyinstaller-1.9.1-p430 ) And then from command line I installed "gem install qtbindings". qtbindings is afaik a recent approach because qtruby4 doesn't work out of the box for non-windows plattforms, at least it didn't for me. > Also for the qt people, I love the tutorials and examples -- BUT none > of them say how to install a working set-up.

I've set up a recent environment for python and Qt and it worked much more flawless. HTH, - Markus > **ยทยทยท** > > On 27.09.2010 02:59, will wrote:
