Where is Ruby 1.9 'TK' library?
in [Ruby]
|
From: Alex DeCaria on 17 Feb 2010 13:36 Just installed Ruby 1.9 and tried to run one of my TK applications that works using Ruby 1.8. There doesn't appear to be a 'TK' library in Ruby 1.9. Where/how can I get and install the 'TK' library? --Alex -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

It sounds like you're using the Windows RubyInstaller, which (as I just found out) doesn't include Tk or Tk bindings.

The reason for that is simple: finding the proper Tk package, manage to automate the unpacking and verify that Ruby does the good job in picking it up during compilation takes time. All the above thing is what we call a build recipe. At this time, nobody wrote it. But I'm open to add extensions if someone takes the stab and create the recipe *using rake tasks) to build it. The repository is here: http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/ Once implemented and tested, just send a pull request and will get those changes tested and then merged. Is extremely important the Tk package Ruby will links against could be unpacked, *not installed*. Installation sometimes requires certain levels of right that some users don't have when working with the build recipes. Also, because the recipes should document the process, not hide a dependency or specific of a version outside the repository. Hope this shed some light on this. Regards, -- Luis Lavena

Luis, is it possible at all to *add* Tk bindings to a copy of Ruby that has already been installed via RubyInstaller?

Funny you ask. http://wiki.github.com/rdp/ruby_tutorials_core/tk has some info on it (I've had success installing tk_as_gem for 1.9.1 mingw). -rp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
