Hey everyone! Just wanted to give the list a heads up on some very neat hacking coming from Team Shoes member Satoshi Asakawa. Satoshi (ashbb) has been refactoring hackety-hack to work on his green_shoes implementation of Shoes in pure ruby. Green Shoes ( http://github.com/ashbb/green_shoes/ ) uses ruby-gtk2 bindings for gui support and drawing surface, otherwise is written entirely in ruby! Check out his fork that he's got working on green_shoes here: https://github.com/ashbb/hacketyhack I'm sure he'd love some help testing it and refactoring some of the features! Cheers! Zak
Fun fun! It's unfortunate that the OSX issues with green_shoes have yet to be resolved.
Green Shoes does work on OSX (https://github.com/ashbb/green_shoes/wiki/Building-Green-Shoes-on-OSX) I'd say there are only really one a half issues. The half being that no one has tested installing all the dependencies via Homebrew (I've just updated the instructions with a guess at the Homebrew approach). The main issue though is that really GTK-OSX should be used for a much more native approach (with UI elements, etc) and it just looks fiddly to install, let alone whether it will work with Ruby bindings, etc. ----------------------- i5m.co.uk GPG Key: 0xA18A602B On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 4:33 PM, Steve Klabnik <steve@steveklabnik.com> wrote: > Fun fun! > > It's unfortunate that the OSX issues with green_shoes have yet to be > resolved.
Ah, nobody told me that it worked without X11! I'll have to give this a try.
