Editor

[Safran von Twesla]

Hi,

I'm looking for a free windows editor for programming in ruby. It
should at least support syntax highlightening.

Thanks

PS: I posted already (got no answer yet) for a friend who tries to get
the gd-library-functions to work with ruby. Is there something special
to know about? He already managed to get it to work with perl and php.

Hi,

When I developed on windows I used Eclipse with the ruby plugin. It had
everything I needed at the time.

You could also try FreeRIDE. Just google for either...

The windows installer comes with SciTE. I'm happy with it.

free -open-source - great plug-in support

it's java, so when you dump windows, you can still use it. I use it on
the mac,linux and windows.

SciTE is great until you find Crimson Editor. http://www.crimsoneditor.com

Crimson isn't perfect, but it offers a lot of things that are really nice to
have that I've found SciTE doesn't offer ATM.

Well, I have "walked" through the menu / syntax and I couldn't find
any ruby formatting... ?!? Are there some plugins somewhere?

Thx

Hi,

your might like to try 'Syn'

http://syn.sourceforge.net/

It come with syntax highlighting (for Ruby, too) can can be configured
to run your programs, to create RDocs and to run, say, your unit tests
quite easily (You DO write unit tests, do you ;-)

Crimson looks like a less-mature version of textpad (textpad.com).

I use textpad when I have to use windows, its what Codewrite used to be,
until it bloated beyond all belief.

Cheers

Windows editor? RDE
http://homepage2.nifty.com/sakazuki/rde_e.html

regarding GD lib, I'm on windows haven't got a problem using it, are you
using the pragprog ruby install? mingw? I use the later, didn't tried
compiling gd myself, got the binary from the /binaries/mingw|mswin/ext
folder in a mirror
for mingw
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/language...1.8/ext/ruby-GD-0.7.4-i386-mingw32-1.8.tar.gz

for mswin didn't see one, but most probably the mingw would work with
the mswin install(but I could be wrong), just unpack the GD.so to the
right dir i.e. ruby/lib/1.8/i386-msvcrt , the i386-msvcrt could be
different on mswin install, just look where the other *.so are.

and thats if using ruby-GD, see:

I'd switch to latest scite. It has features missing in sciute 1.41,
like tab support

He inserted GD.so in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\i386-mswin32 and run his
Script again... here the error:

test.rb:62: undefined method `colorAllocate' for
#<GD::Image100x100)> (NoMethodError)

Strange, isn't it?

Thx

ms-win32?, the pragprog doesn't create a /*mswin but /*msvcrt? or is a
newer version? or is he using other windows binary?

I Installed the ruby-180-10, just to check it out and using the example.rb:
-----------------------------------------
require 'GD'
im=GD::Image.new(100,100)
white = im.colorAllocate(255,255,255)
black = im.colorAllocate(0,0,0)
red = im.colorAllocate(255,0,0)
blue = im.colorAllocate(0,0,255)
im.transparent(white)
im.interlace = true

# Put a black frame around the picture
im.rectangle(0,0,99,99,black)

# Draw a blue oval
im.arc(50,50,95,75,0,360,blue)

# And fill it with red
im.fill(50,50,red)

# Convert the image to PNG and print it on standard output
file=File.new("test.png","wb")
im.png(file)
-----------------------------------------
I get the test.png ok!, both with the mingw install and the
mswin(pragprog), mmmh... is other mswin install, self compiled?

run the line *require 'GD'* does it gives an error by itself?
