mainly gtk2 is only :
Ruby/GLib2, Ruby/ATK, Ruby/GdkPixbuf2, Ruby/Pango, Ruby/GTK2

While you are around Kou, could we have your opinion on the 2.20
‘get_name’ issue, between gtk::Widget and Gtk::buildable ?

Ah… Sorry…
Is it about
“[ruby-gnome2-devel-en] Gtk 2.20, Gtk::Builder and ‘name’”?

I’ll see it at the next weekend. Sorry…

Thanks,

There is no plan about it…
We need more help for Windows support.

It seems that rake-compiler based solution is nice:
GitHub - rake-compiler/rake-compiler: Provide a standard and simplified way to build and package Ruby C and Java extensions using Rake as glue.

Windows user will be able to install Ruby-GNOME2 by

gem install ruby-gnome2

Thanks,

Hei Kouhei,

this looks very interesting, I’ll take a look and (if I’m successful)
post the results.
Thanks a lot for the pointer, I couldn’t find it myself!
