so i just compiled and installed FOX and and then FXRuby. both compile
and installs went fine. (except the optional mesa option didn’t work) i
used the lastest stable version of FOX 1.0.14 and the same for FXRuby
1.0.11. yet, when i require ‘fox’ i am told:
libFOX-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory - /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.6/i386-linux/fox.so (LoadError)
yet i move to that location and indeed fox.so is there. what’s goign
wrong?
thanks for any help,

i’ll look into fxruby.
i also noticed that there is an interesting sdl based gui out there
called paragui. it may be worth making a wrapper for (?) anyone?
I just can’t get my mind wrapped around pixel-based GUI programming.
Probably comes from doing 12+ years of coding character-based GUI
applications (mostly vt100 and wyse60) and less than a year of
pixel-based GUI programming.
i understand. whe it comes to hand coding gui i get right tired of it
right quick. that’s why i created miter. perhaps i’ll just have miter
generate fxruby forms instead of html. let you know how it goes.

opengl forms gui, well, i’m thinking along these lines: a basic set of
objects including a container pane which can have optional scrollbars
attached to it, a table object which can have spanning cols and rows,
each cell of which is a pane, and your basic set of form objects: text,
text input (single and multiline), checkbox, radio buttons, dropdown,
combobox, multiple selection list, regular button, and perhaps a knob
and a tree, and an input grid. i think that would be enough. i don’t
want to over complicate the matter.
Sounds like all the widgets available in FOX via FXRuby … cheap plug
notice: i’m scrapping my web application. now i’m in the market for a
gui. i still wish to use ruby. it needs to run on linux, windows, and
mac. recommendations?
FXRuby. Look into it. Most definitely.
if anyone is interested in working with me on an opengl forms gui
toolkit, i would prefer to take this route. i can can compensate a
little. takers?
I’m not really interested in an OpenGL version, but I might be inclined
to work on a forms designer for FXRuby since my GUI programming skills
are way weak – I even have trouble laying out dialogs the way I want in
Tk, which is pathetically simple with most of the packing managers.

Something that let me WYSIWYG lay out forms for FXRuby, save the form
as a list of widgets, their coordinates/dimensions, and hook them up
to code that handles events for each widget … that would be a dream!
Maybe I should start implementing this and use it as inspiration to
work on the FXBook project (which isn’t dead, just resting!) …

installing fox: had to add path to libFOX.so in /etc/ld.so.conf. thanks
anyway. always a little tweaking when it comes to linux.
