The FreeRide annoucement just reminded me… what’s up with wxRuby?
Is progress being made? What’s the status?
Cheers,

We are now making preparations for a 0.2 release, which will include binary
builds for windows, linux and OSX (more if possible). A substantial subset
of the wxWindows library has been wrapped (enough to write real
applications) and seems to be fairly stable. The priority of wrapping more
parts of wxWindows has been driven primarily by the needs of those who are
using it and posting to the wxRuby ML.
wxRuby has also moved entirely to RubyForge (that actually happened a while
ago). You can find more information here:

What would you recommend for people stuck with Solaris?

Yay! I’d like to start playing with it. If WxWindows+Ruby can work for
me it’d be a fantastic way of writing cross-platform applications.
I am not a professional programmer. I don’t need anything fancy.
I tried compiling wxPython but the compile failed. I asked at the
wxPython and wxWindows lists and neither made much of an effort to help me
out.

Thanks!

I’m not aware of anyone who is doing a Solaris build. You would have to
build it yourself. Although its possible that one of the wxRuby users might
have access to a Solaris system at work and be able/willing to attempt a
build. Your best bet would be to subscribe to the wxRuby mailing list and
ask.

The group of wxRuby users is fairly small, but very helpful. Plus Kevin
Smith has developed a copy sample applications which make very good examples
of using wxRuby (including an email client).

Does wxRuby work on Linux on handhelds? For example, Linux on the Zaurus?
I’m quite interested in providing a GUI for my jukebox that would work on
the Zaurus, but I don’t have one to develop on, just a friend with one
that’s willing to test it, so I’d have to develop it under Linux.

If wxWindows runs on the Zaurus (check the wxWindows web site) and Ruby runs
on the Zaurus, then is should be possible to build wxRuby for the Zaurus.
