A standard GUI should be easy to install on every platform.
Tk is easy to install
Java is available every where too
I’d imagine that multi-platform is easier with jruby (rawr) or
appcelerator or possibly tk or qt.
If you want to use tk on your windows distro [and are using mingw 1.9.x]
you can install it as a gem from
GitHub - rdp/tk_as_gem: the tk extension extracted from core and gem-ified
Also thanks for the links and review of appcelerator–I’ve added it to
the list
http://wiki.github.com/rdp/ruby_talk_faq/ruby-gui-toolkit-comparison
I tried to install this as a gem using many types of combinations:
gem install tk_as_gem --platform x86-mingw32
gem install tk_as_gem --source GitHub - rdp/tk_as_gem: the tk extension extracted from core and gem-ified
–platform x86-mingw32
etc.
The second one fails saying it can’t find a gem. The first one fails,
even thought I have activetcl installed in C:\tcl and it’s included in
my path and verified.
ERRORS:
C:\Users\Joel>gem install -d tk_as_gem --platform x86-mingw32
