Hello,
I was wondering what was the story with FreeRIDE? About a
month ago there
was a lot of talk about it, but I haven't heard much since. Is there
somewhere I can download it, or has it still not been released?
If not, is
there a timeframe for its (unofficial, of course :) release date?
Anxiously looking forward to it (and very much appreciatively),
Chris
Thanks for your interest (and your patience!). I'm going to
cross-post this
to the ruby ML to help keep everyone informed.
We haven't yet made an official release. We've been fixing a few
show-stopper problems, cleaning up the code, and writing
documentation. Work
and family always seem to take priority, as well, so it has been taking
longer that we wanted. Our updated release task list is at:
http://www.rubyide.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Release_0.5.0_Tasks
Some time ago I tried to run FreeRIDE but, being on a Debian GNU/Linux
Sid box, I didn't have FXScintilla nor FXRuby installed.
I worked my way to make the pertinent packages, to avoid cluttering up my
/usr/local (yes, I do know stow :)
I've seen on the TODO list that you're planning to make Debian
packages, so this might interest you.
Right now I have the following working in my sid box (haven't tested it
thoroughly yet, but the packaging is quite simple indeed):
libfox-ruby
libfox-ruby1.7 (for the 1.7 branch, can coexist
with the latter)
libfxscintilla1
libfxscintilla1-dev (headers and static lib)
Is this of any use for you?
