Forum: wxRuby Force wxRuby/wxWidgets to Qt libs?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi there,

Being annoyed by the libpixman bug wxRuby has I wonder wheather I could
just make wxRuby use the Qt libs instead of the GTK ones. I already have
them installed on my Ubuntu machine, as I'm using applications like K3b
which clearly come from KDE and therefore use the Qt library.

So here's my question: Is there an easy way to make wxRuby/wxWidgets use
the KDE/Qt libraries instead of the GNOME/GTK ones from a normal Ubuntu
session? Maybe just by setting an appropriate environment variable such 
as
$  WX_WIDGETS_LIB=Qt ruby my_gui.rb
?

Valete,
Marvin

No, I'm afraid not. The QT port of wxWidgets is largely unmaintained.
Also, the port of wxRuby to each platform/lib requires special work, and
there isn't any support in the wxRuby codebase for building against QT.

Why not just use QT/Ruby? It is different but has a similar range of
features to wxRuby.

I already thought about that, but I have so much code that is already
written for wxRuby... I don't want to rewrite all that. Additionally, Qt
doesn't look native on other platforms than those using KDE, which is a
must-have for many of my applications (at least Ubuntu and Windows).
