hey all. anyone able to build the ruby-usb libusb bindings? i’ve
tried on os x, fedora 8, debian sarge, etch, and ubuntu 6.06… no
luck. it doesn’t look like the library is actively maintained, but
it’s a useful one and some great work has been done so far. it’d be
nice to have it working well.
I have not been able to, but I know at least two people have been able
to on OS X; the guy who wrote ruby-nxt and one other guy who demoed it
at fOSCON in Portland.

I don’t remember a libusb demo at foscon. Are you thinking of the RAD
demo with the arduino and the spinny flag thing? Of course, I might
have missed it.

Now I’m confused. There was a RAD demo? The spinny flag sounds vaguely
familiar. I thought I would remember a RAD demo, though. There’s a
project I’ve been wanting to do for years which RAD might be perfect
for.
Anyway. I’m referring to the Mindstorms demo, but I got it confused.
The Mindstorms demo used ruby-nxt, and ruby-nxt requires Linux
Bluetooth libraries, not Ruby USB ones.

Me too. I don’t remember any NXT demo at foscon. There was definitely
a RAD demo.

He went right after my music demo. Simple Mindstorms robot
remote-controlled from a laptop. He had people looking at the stage
because the projector didn’t have an image of the robot. He just had
it turn left or something to demonstrate that was remote-controlling
it via Ruby.

You’re certainly right - the zipped version won’t compile on my (Ubuntu
7.10)
Linux system either. But, the latest SVN snapshot does compile without
problem.
