You have to compile it manually from source code.


I once had QtRuby for Qt3 bindings working on a PC-BSD machine (FreeBSD 6.2 or 6.1 under the hood back then), I haven't tried on any other system yet.

Korundums support for FreeBSD is broken and has been for a _long_ time, I tried helping a friend with getting it to compile awhile back. It involved a fair bit of punching and kicking to the build system, not sure if he ever got it compiled though.


Perls Qt bindings in ports has also been marked broken for a _long_ time, so long that it may get removed last I heard.




Ruby and Qt is however quite nice a tag team.


For *easy* installation of stuff and portability to other peoples bsd machines, GUI programming in Ruby on FreeBSD should probably be done using GTK+, WxWidgets, or TK.
