If you're interested in a 1.8.x that works with tk, see http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ "Ruby 1.8.6-p27 (RC2)" Install that, and activeState 8.5 in your path and it should "just work" >> To reproduce it go into your ext/tk library and run extconf.rb (and >> nmake I guess).

I'm not sure I've never built it using mswin. If you want to build it with mingw checkout the tcl branch of rubyinstaller: http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/tree/tcl if you run a rake from there (rake ruby18) it should build ruby with the tk extension built. >> Do you have any response to this (it's a gem)? Typically when you're just starting ruby on windows, it's recommended to use a pre-built package instead of building it yourself. gem is ruby's way of distributing libraries easily. google for rubygems. Cheers! -rp >> http://faithpromotingrumors.org/incoming/ruby-1.9.1-p429-i386-mingw32.7z If you unpack that zip file (download 7 zip to be able to extract it), you'll get a full fledged ruby 1.9.1 with the Tk extension already built. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This is getting more and more confusing. How do I check check consistency of architecture between Ruby and Tcl/Tk if it's 32 bit or 64? I thought 32 bit apps can run on a 64 bit machine. This tutorial is really awful. It gives me nothing but problems every step of the way. Is there some better way to learn Ruby/tk? And why does he want me to use 1.8.x and not 1.9.x? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Re: easier did you see my comment about ""Ruby 1.8.6-p27 (RC2)"" or about a zip file that contains tk?

I've read everything in this thread. You mean the one that says; "If you're interested in a 1.8.x that works with tk, see http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/" I don't really want to use 1.8.x, that stupid tutorial told me to. Of course I'd like to use the latest and greatest which is probably 1.9.x. > or about a zip file that contains tk? You mean this one you made? http://faithpromotingrumors.org/incoming/ruby-1.9.1-p429-i386-mingw32.7z I'm installing 7 zip now to try it. I didn't want to use 1.9.x because that tutorial told me to specifically compile the 1.8.x source but since that tutorial was a total disaster I'm looking at using your 1.9.x and that new tutorial below. The tutorial is nice but doesn't say how to install ruby. Just about programming in the language. I need to get it installed first and that is the hard part. You can compile from source or use a "one click install" on windows. I'd rather compile from source but can't get it to work. I also have a FreeBSD Unix machine that I can use too but don't see any other tutorials about how to install ruby/tk on that. I have no idea how to do it on Unix so I'm trying on windows first. Actually, I did install ruby and Tcl/tk on my Unix box but getting the same error. I need to know where to put the libraries and how to get it to work. > > Re: learning it: > http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ruby_Programming/GUI_Toolkit_Modules/Tk > may be of some use to you. > GL! > -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
