[ruby-fltk-users] Can anybody tell me how fltk-utf8-1.1.6 show Un-Ascii character?

[Wu Y. <laz...@ms...>]

I download fltk-utf8_1.1.6-3.tar.gz fromhttp://www.oksid.ch/fltk-uft/index.htmlI can't find any document or guidance in the website or src directory.So I compile it with following command.# tar -xzvf fltk-utf8_1.1.6-3.tar.gz# cd fltk-utf8-1.1.6# ./configure# makeAnd finished successfully. The applications in the test/ directorycan run normally, except "./utf8" application. It only show asciicharacter. Other characters are uncorrect.Can anybody tell me how to make it right?I run it on my PC with Fedora 5.

Re: [ruby-fltk-users] Anyone managed to compile under OS X?

[Rob W. <rob...@gm...>]

Hi Jeremy, thanks for responding so soon. I've attached the the log  
file.

X11 is installed, but it's Apple's own version (still based on  
XFree86) so it's probably installed somewhere other than is  
usual :-). I may be mistaken, but I suspect that FLTK doesn't require  
use of X11 on OS X, but rather uses the Aqua via the Carbon APIs in  
much the same way it uses GDI or whatever on Windows.

I didn't get as far as running make. extconf.rb doesn't seem to spit  
out a makefile.

I've attached the mkmf log.

Thanks,

Rob

Re: [ruby-fltk-users] Anyone managed to compile under OS X?

[Jeremy H. <je...@ch...>]

Rob, 

I'm the current maintainer of Ruby/FLTK but I'm not one of the
original developers.  Unfortunately I only have access to Linux so I
can't debug your problems directly.

> Unfortunately I'm currently unable to build ruby-fltk. Most of the  
> checks performed by extconf.rb seem to fail ...

It looks like the all tests for headers pass but the ones for
individual functions fail.  This may be because your compiler is
trying to compile the test files as C instead of C++.  extconf.rb
redefines the test file to have a .cxx extension and relies on the
compiler to know that this means the contents are C++ .  This works
with gcc , but maybe your compiler behaves differently.

> and it also complains that OS X is an unsupported platform.

There's a line in extconf.rb that does this whenever the platform is
not X11 or Windows.  I assume you're not running X11 on Mac OS?

Can you send the mkmf.log file?  That should record exactly what the
compiler was doing when the feature tests failed.  Did you get as far
as running make?  If so, can you send the log of that too?

It's very annoying that the mkmf feature test functions fail for C++
and that there is no standard, reliable fix for this, or at least
there was none when I last tapped Google and the lazyweb for answers.
I'll look again and see if things have improved.

Regards, 

Jeremy Henty

[ruby-fltk-users] Anyone managed to compile under OS X?

[Rob W. <rob...@gm...>]

I'm planning on writing an app to run on both OS X and Windows and am  
currently evaluating GUI toolkits. FLTK seems like a good choice  
because I'd like to deploy using rubyscript2exe and it appears to be  
compact and self-contained.

I've downloaded the latest 1.1.x source snapshot from the FLTK site.  
It built and installed with no problem using the default options.

Unfortunately I'm currently unable to build ruby-fltk. Most of the  
checks performed by extconf.rb seem to fail and it also complains  
that OS X is an unsupported platform. Does anyone have any tips for  
getting this to work? Any help would gratefully received.

Here's the output from extconf.rb:

checking for main() in -lruby... yes

[ruby-fltk-users] Announcement: Ruby/FLTK 0.9.6

[Jeremy H. <je...@ch...>]

Ruby/FLTK 0.9.6 , 2007-01-09 
http://ruby-fltk.sourceforge.net/


"Graphical functions of FLTK for make benefit glorious language of Ruby"



What is this?:

Ruby/FLTK is a Ruby binding for the FLTK (Fast, Light Toolkit) GUI
library.


Headlines!: 
- Having languished somewhat in late 2006, Ruby/FLTK returns with a
  fat ChangeLog in 2007.
- A new class FLTK::Spinner (if your FLTK version is >= 1.1.7).
- All of FLTK's enumeration values and constant macros are bound to
  Ruby constants (with a few justifiable exceptions).
- Several new FLTK class methods (see ChangeLog).
- Convenience I: if FLTK.color receives a block it yields and then
  restores the original color.
- Convenience II: you can invoke #{rectf,rect,push_clip,pop_clip} on
  widget objects and the boundary of the widget will be used as the
  rectangle.
- FLTK.{choice,input,password} sprintf their arguments in the same way
  as their counterparts in FLTK (NB: FLTK.{message,alert,ask} already
  did this).
- New non-sprintf-ing methods
  FLTK.{message0,alert0,ask0,choice0,input0,password0} (NB: you should
  switch to these methods if you did not realise that their cousins
  call sprintf, as it will fix subtle bugs that appear when the
  argument contains a'%' ).
- Big cleanup of tests and sample scripts, plus a few additions.

Details are in the Release Notes and the ChangeLog.

The focus for version 0.9.7 will be: 
  * Push towards full coverage of FLTK's global functions and Fl::*
    methods.
  * Any suggestions?

[ruby-fltk-users]Fwd: ruby-fltk-0.9.2 on WinXP

[Kurien M. <kur...@ya...>]

Hello,

Just wanted to share an update on the problem I reported earlier. The problem was due to Cygwin
crashing when loading libraries dynamically. To workaround it I tried switching to MSys (MinGW)
but that does not work either. 

I find that extconf.rb does not work as expected. Neither in MSys nor in a native WinXP console.
The source of the problem is the following line(s) in extconf.rb

system("#{fltk_config}......

Ruby MinGW (irrespective of the shell in which it is run) does not execute the above statement
successfully since fltk_config is not recognized as an executable. I tried the following values
for the variable fltk_config 
/usr/local/bin/fltk-config (WinXP) 
/c/usr/local/bin/fltk-config (MinGW) 
This failure cascades into other errors during "make".

If the executable "fltk-config" is replaced with say a batch file or any other executable
recognized by Windows(.exe,.bat) the statement succeeds for WinXP.

I am not sure what is the best way out. I wonder if it would be good to use standard tools for
configure instead of Ruby.

Kurien

[ruby-fltk-users] Sourceforge update

[Jeremy H. <je...@ch...>]

Sourceforge have rolled out their new CVS hardware, which means some
changes for users.  The CVS host is now ruby-fltk.cvs.sourceforge.net
instead of cvs.sourceforge.net , so the new instructions for checking
out Ruby/FLTK are:

  cvs -d :pserver:ano...@ru...:/cvsroot/ruby-fltk login
  cvs -d :pserver:ano...@ru...:/cvsroot/ruby-fltk checkout -P ruby-fltk

I have updated the Ruby/FLTK home page with the new instructions.

PLEASE NOTE: You *must* do a new CVS checkout *even* if you already
have a CVS working directory.  Your old working directory is pointing
to the wrong CVS host and should be deleted.

None of this affects downloading the release tarballs.

"Metaphysics Edition"



What is this?:

Ruby-FLTK is a Ruby binding for the FLTK (Fast, Light Toolkit) GUI
library.


Headlines!: 
- New FLTK color classes.  Ruby philosophers can finally determine
  exactly how red is red: "ruby -rfltk -e 'puts FLTK::RED.r'".
- More portability fixes for extconf.rb .
- A few bug fixes.

Details are in the Release Notes and the Changes listing.

The focus for version 0.9.6 will be: 
  * Converting values to Color objects so that eg. FLTK.color("RED")
    will work.
  * Accessing the FLTK color API from color objects,
    eg. FLTK::RED.lighter should be equivalent to
    FLTK.lighter(FLTK::RED) .
  * Overhauling the contents of the test and samples directories (long
    overdue).
  * Any suggestions?

Unfortunately I don't have a Windows system to test on, so all I can
do is suggest things for you to try.  

Are these the only scripts in the samples/test directories that hang
in this way?  (Note, I think in some cases the scripts are best run
from the directory above with the command 'ruby samples/demo.rb' or
'ruby samples/sample7.rb' etc.)  When I run 'ruby samples/sample7.rb'
it writes something like '#<FTLK::Scroll::0xb66577c>' to the output.
Do you see that, or does it not even get that far?  Do simple pure
Ruby scripts like 'puts "hello"' work?

Otherwise I suggest the standard stuff: add puts statements in the
script at various points and see which ones produce output.

Hello,

I have been trying to run the ruby-fltk samples after having installed Cygwin and also compiling
and installing ruby-fltk-0.9.2.

Executing "ruby demo.rb" or "ruby samples7.rb" in the Cygwin bash shell produce nothing. The shell
prompt appears after a couple of seconds. rubyfltk.so and ruby-fltk scripts are well installed
under cygwin/lib/ruby/1.8. I also tried the ruby options -d and -w. But that did not provide
additional information. The scripts dont seem to continue beyond 'require "rubyfltk.so"'.

Do you have any suggestions on how to isolate the source of the problem?

Thanks
Kurien

Release notes: 

Headlines!: 
- Mostly fixes, cleanups, typos.
- New color/cursor constants.

This is very much a "cleanup" release rather than "new functionality",
as I am still familiarising myself with the code base.  If there's
something you're keen to see in 0.9.3 , now is the time to let me
know.


CHANGES:

0.9.1 -> 0.9.2

* Added the file "test/boxes.rb".
* Added the file "test/colors.rb".
* Added the DARK_* color constants.
* Added the file "test/cursors.rb". 
* Added the missing *_CURSOR constants.
* "ruby extconf.rb --help" now *only* prints the help text 
* Eliminated the deprecated "rb_f_lambda".

- Also, Ruby-FLTK can beep at you!

This release marks a change of hands.  There had been no activity on
this project for some time, and at the request of the previous
development team I (Jeremy Henty) volunteered to take over.  My
contribution to this release was merely to review the latest code in
CVS and update the change log.  I hope to make more substantial
contributions to future releases!  :-)

This is a source-only release.  I am considering what to do about
binary releases.  Suggestions are welcome!

---------------------------------------------
* Added constants for Browser_::has_scrollbar().
* extconf.rb: fixed to build correctly under Ruby 1.8.x .
* Added FLTK.beep and the FLTK::BEEP_* constants.
* Added FLTK::TextDisplay#text{font,color,size} .
* Added extconf.rb tests for fl_{inactive,constrast} and 
  #ifdef-wrapped FLTK.{inactive,constrast} accordingly.

I am interested in doing it, but first I need to resolve the IP issues
with my employer.  I believe (based on previous discussions with them)
that there will be no problem, but I'd like to get it in writing
before making any major contribution to an Open Source project.
Better safe than sorry.

I think Ruby-FLTK is already pretty good as it stands.  The main
issues I have are: the build breaks under a modern Ruby (I had to hack
cxx.rb and extconf.rb), and it seems incomplete (several useful FLTK
calls are not exposed in the Ruby interface).

If anyone else has any suggestions about what needs to be done, please
let me know!

I'll post again as soon I have the necessary assurances from my
employer.

Cheers, 

Jeremy Henty
