Compiling wxRuby on Ubuntu 10.04

Desktop wxRuby

I tried following your instructions and everything was going ok until I
got
to the following step:

Your post is missing the actual error. The string literal warning occurs
many times during compilation and shouldn’t lead to an interruption.
Did you compile wxWidgets yourself? I’m wondering, because your include
path shows /usr/local/lib/wx, which should be /usr/lib/wx I think.
What is the output of

$ ruby -rrbconfig -ve ‘puts RbConfig::CONFIG[“configure_args”]’
$ dpkg -L libwxgtk2.8-dev
$ which wx-config

?

It seems you have two wxWidgets installations, one in /usr (that’s that
one from the Ubuntu repos) and one in /usr/local (probably
self-compiled?). /usr/local/bin comes first in PATH, therefore the
wxWidgets installation there is used by wxRuby. Try this:

$ wx-config --prefix
$ /usr/local/bin/wx-config --prefix #Same as above
$ /usr/bin/wxconfig --prefix

and two different wxWidgets prefixes will eventually be shown. Building
on “top of the distro packages” should work fine, so I suggest you to
uninstall the wxWidgets in /usr/local/ either by running

$ sudo make uninstall

in the source directory of the compiled wxWidgets, or, if you don’t have
that source directory anymore, a

$ cd /usr/local
$ find -regex ‘.libwx.’ -or -regex ‘./wx-.’ -or -name wxrc

should list all wxWidgets files under /usr/local. Deleting those
should result in a complete deletion of the wxWidgets installation in
/usr/local. However, do review the list of found files; deleting
something non-wxish unintentionally can cause problems (as you might
imagine). For instance, on my system this shows some Python files:

$ find -regex ‘.libwx.’ -or -regex ‘./wx-.’ -or -name wxrc | grep py
./include/wx-2.8/wx/wxPython/pytree.h
./include/wx-2.8/wx/wxPython/pyistream.h

Hello All,

Due to some issues with the setup of 10.10, I’ve been working on getting
a
new version of the wxRuby gems setup, and ready for you all. Currently,
since it was the one requested by Phillip Stephens, I’ve posted a Ruby
1.9
Gem which can be downloaded from
http://www.trilake.net/wxRuby/wxruby-ruby19-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem

This version of the gem, has been compiled to work without wxMediaCtrl
compiled in with the main wxWidgets Library. I will be setting up a new
distro in my Apt repository to upload new versions of the wxRuby library
for
i386 and x86_64, specifically for Maverick Meerkat. I will be setting
up my
64bit install of Ubuntu to host a VM for Lucid Lynx, to get installs for
both 32bit and 64bit versions for 10.04. I apologize for the lateness
in
this post, but I was just able to get everything compiled, and uploaded.

Please bear with me, as I get the repositories setup, and going with
proper
authentication of the source packages, and such.

hth,

Mario

P.S. Installation instructions in a Copy & Paste Method for the Gem:

wget http://www.trilake.net/wxRuby/wxruby-ruby19-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem
sudo gem install wxruby-ruby19-2.0.1-x86-linux.gem

I’m really interested in how you managed to do a successful compile on
Ubuntu Maverick. I’ve been trying to do that for more than a week now
and still no success (see my previous posts on this lists, e.g. here:
Compiling wxWidgets/wxRuby on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick - wxRuby - Ruby-Forum ). Even if compilation was done
without problems, I was bombed with segfaults when trying to use wxRuby,
even with the minimal sample a click on the “File” menu made Ruby crash.
Could you post some instructions on how to get that working (maybe in a
new thread, as this is not what the OP is trying to do)?

Vale,
Marvin
