Default Ruby qtruby installation

I would like to start playing around with qtruby.

How do I go about installing the qtruby4 package under FreeBSD 7.0?

It doesn't seem to be in ports and 'gem install qtruby4' doesn't want to work.

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.

If I wanted to try and compile the source where is the best place to start?

Is the qt4-qtruby-1.4.10.tgz file the correct download from the Korundum/QtRuby site:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=181 ?
or is there a better source?

Korundum includes QtRuby among other things -> I have never gotten it to build.

QtRuby -> I did once get to build but it was an older one for Qt3 support.


best start point would likely to install qt4 meta port (or use a pkg -> it's not a small compile!) if you haven't already, then download QtRuby source code, unpack, cd to it's directory, do a ./configure --help to check for any important options you might need. -> Your in the right directory if there is a file called 'configure' there.

I don't recall needing any but, age of my last test + newer versions == YMMV

run ./configure and pass any needed args to it, e.g. --with-somefeature

if configure passes, try to compile it with GNU make (gmake command) and install as normal, e.g. 'gmake install'

should only have to be root to install it.

When I do a 'cmake .' on QTRuby I get this error:

Code:
CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindRUBY.cmake:84 (MESSAGE):
Could not find Ruby
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:24 (FIND_PACKAGE)
Did you manage to fix this when you compiled it?

When I compiled it they still used GNU autotools, KDE hadn't even adapted CMake yet.

I found that if I do a
Code:
# gem list --remote | grep -i qt
I get qtruby4 listed but I cannot install this. I tried this:
Code:
# gem install qtruby4 --remote
ERROR:  could not find qtruby4 locally or in a repository
