Could it be, that qtruby requires qt-3.3.x? Just because it works on my linux boxes with qt-3.3.2 installed. OTOH [http://developer.kde.org/language-bindings/ruby/index.html](http://developer.kde.org/language-bindings/ruby/index.html) says qt-3.2. Jochen ok, this time I pointed directly to the qt-libs/includes but still the same error message. ./configure --with-qt-includes=/opt/qt/3.2/include --with-qt-libraries=/opt/qt/3.2/lib --with-qt-dir=/opt/qt/3.2 $ grep -R QIconDragEvent /opt/qt/3.2/include/\* doesn't find the undeclared identifier -- seems like there's something wrong with this qt- Jochen. where are your libs/includes? these \*are\* error messages 馃檪 maybe they should be made more obvious 馃槢 Alex > **路路路** > > ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org schrieb am 14.07.04 13:12:40: > ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org schrieb am 14.07.04 12:56:34: > > On Wed, Jul 14, 2004 at 07:49:43PM +0900, =?iso-8859-1?Q?

no its just a messed up detection of compiled in stuff. richard can probably help out with this 馃檪 richard you around? 馃檪 Alex > **路路路** > > On Wed, Jul 14, 2004 at 08:30:47PM +0900, =?iso-8859-1?Q?

Yes ok - it's definately possible because some PerlQt guys recently got the Smoke library working on Windows. I seem to remember them saying something about 'removing certain headers'. Hmm. But maybe ruby-talk might want to be spared from a 'blow by blow' account of how exactly to get there.. I just need to have a look at the recent kde-perl@kde.org posts to see what they said and did. The ruby QtRuby extension part should be easy enough to compile I would have thought. It builds on Mac OS X so there can't be any X11 dependencies in there. -- Richard ---

Here's the post from the kde-perl mailing list about building the Smoke library on Windows. Other people tried the instructions and confirmed it worked ok. I'm not sure if this works with cygwin though: "Although there are bindings for using PerlQt on windows with cygwin-x11 and qt-x11, I didn't want my target computer to have those installed. So I coerced PerlQt into compiling and linking under MSVC6" > **路路路** > > On Tuesday 22 June 2004 14:50, ryan@vbijl.net wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > Thought you all might be interested.
