Dependencies

Configure flags needed

In order to build just qtruby:

Copy the CMakeLists.txt.qtruby file to QCMakeLists.txt, and follow the instructions in the file.

Optionally give cmake and install prefix like this: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde4

Then type 'make'

Building on Mac OS X

Ryutaro Amano wrote this about creating a double clickable bundle:

“Thanks all, I have succeeded make rubyw. sample script is launched in foreground. And I have known the following steps to launch qt-ruby script by double clicking from Finder.

As an example, I take qtruby-1.0.11/qtruby/rubylib/tutorial/t14

cd qtruby-1.0.11/qtruby/rubylib/tutorial/t14 chmod 755 t14.rb replace first line of t14.rb with “#!/usr/local/bin/rubyw” mkdir -p Shoot.app/Contents/MacOS mv t14.rb Shoot.app/Contents/MacOS/Shoot cp {cannon.rb,gamebrd.rb,lcdrange.rb} Shoot.app/Contents/MacOS cp Info.plist Shoot.app/Contents

Info.plist is

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?> <!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM “file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd”> <plist version=“0.9”> <dict>

<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>Shoot</string>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>jp.co.ryutaro.qtquit</string>
<key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
<string>APPL</string>
<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>????</string>

</dict> </plist>

echo -n “APPL????” > Shoot.app/Contents/PkgInfo

Double click Shoot.app, Qt-Window appears in foreground.“
