FXRuby Installation failing

[Nataraj]

Hi

Which is the most stable version of FXRuby that can be used with ruby
1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0)?

I am having lots of trouble installing fxruby using gem.

root@at91sam9263ek:~$ gem install fxruby-1.6.19.gem
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing fxruby-1.6.19.gem:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb

Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.19 for inspection.
Results logged to
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.19/ext/fox16/gem_make.out

root@at91sam9263ek:~$ cat
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.19/ext/fox16/gem_make.out
/usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb


The foxlib example program 'Calculator' works well. Using
libFOX-1.6.so.0.0.36. But fxruby install doesnt finish.

During my previous install on I used libFOX-1.6.so.0.0.34. Could it be
any bug in ibFOX-1.6.so.0.0.36?

Trying out a source install now.

Please help me.

regards

Nataraj

FXRuby should be compatible (which is to say, compileable-against) any  
release of Ruby 1.8 or 1.9. I'm running Ruby 1.8.6-p368, but Ruby  
1.8.7-p0 should *probably* work too.

So what are the contents of this file:

        /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/fxruby-1.6.19/ext/fox16/gem_make.out

or is it empty?

OK, but I'll need some information other than "it doesn't build" to  
figure out what's going on. The gem_make.out file should tell us that.

No.

OK, if that doesn't work either, please send me the gem_make.out file  
from your failed gem installation.

Thanks,

Hi Lyle

Got it working  by fiddling a lot. I am working on an Arm9 embedded
board with Linux.  Had to do a lot of cross compiling, copying folders
etc.

On a project with dead line on 10th. I may need your help profusely.
Kindly help me out. I am in the process of adding linux drivers for
Camera, and biometric using finger print. After that I need Ruby to
talk to the drivers or libraries and get the validation onto FXruby
forms.

Please keep in touch as I am desperate.

Thanking you

Nataraj
