[ANN] Ruby/Tk-Kit for RubyInstaller 1.9.1p378rc2

[Hidetoshi NAGAI]

Hi.
Now, you can download a trial version of Ruby/Tk-Kit for RubyInstaller
1.9.1p378rc2 (tested on Windows XP). Ruby/Tk-Kit version of tcltklib.so
includes full environment of Tcl/Tk. So, you don't need to install Tcl/Tk
on your windows box.

You can download at
http://www.dumbo.ai.kyutech.ac.jp/~nagai/RubyTk/?Ruby/Tk-Kit
(The page is written in Japanese. sorry.)

RubyInstaller 1.9.1p378rc2 doesn't include Ruby/Tk files. At first,
please download "rubytk-simple-w-img_ext-for-RubyInstaller191.zip".
The file is a full package. Please extract it at RubyInstaller's
lib/ruby/1.9.1 directory.

"tcltklib.so-simple-20100520-ruby191-mingw-for-RubyInstaller191"
and
"tcltklib.so-w-exts-20100520-ruby191-mingw-for-RubyInstaller191"
are files for replacement of tcltklib.so.
The former includes standard Tcl/Tk only,
and the latter includes many Tcl/Tk extensions.
If you want to use the one of those, please rename it to tcltklib.so
and copy to RubyInstaller's lib/ruby/1.9.1/i386-mingw32 directory.

The structure of tcltklib.so is same as Tclkit for Tcl/Tk.
It means that the tool "SDX" (http://www.equi4.com/starkit/sdx.html)
for Tclkit (Starkit) can treat tcltklib.so of Ruby/Tk-Kit.

If you try it, it's my pleasure.
Any kind of reports are welcome.

Sorry. Files at 20100520 include silly bug.
If you downloaded 20100520 version, please download 20100523 version
and replace tcltklib.so.

does it need tclkit or is just tcl/tk enough?

It requires Tcl/Tk sources or static build libraries,
some sources of Tclkit, Metakit4, TclVFS, zlib,
and (maybe optional) iTcl.

Oh ok. Sounds like an interesting project. I think rubyinstaller plans
on distributing with a "built" tk in the future, so making sure it can
overwrite those files would be a plus.
