FreeRIDE and Fox...

[Hal Fulton]

So what's the Fox version requirement?

I can't seem to run FR with Fox 1.6, and I
can't seem to install the antique 1.2
correctly.

Lyle says he won't bugfix the old 1.2 stuff
anymore; not sure about 1.4.x stuff.

If someone wanted to install FR right now
from scratch, is it possible? Would it
work?

Hal,

FR currently works with 1.2. The plan is to eventually migrate to 1.6
but I personally have little time to dedicate to this work. It doesn't
seem to be a big job though. If others on the devel list feel like
putting some effort in this task they are most welcome.

For now the best is for you to use the FR installers (either Windows or
Linux) which comes with Fox 1.2 already compiled and linked in.

I think I'll check out the code to see what needs to be done. Before  
I do that, is anyone else working on that (upgrading FreeRIDE to  
FXRuby 1.6)?

Wasn't there a plan to convert FreeRide to wxRuby instead of Fox?

Ciao, Imi

Only if someone volunteers to do the work. Until then FXRuby rules.

PS
    wxRuby isn't quite ready yet, anyway.

Not that I know of. That would be really cool if you could spend some
time assessing the work that has to be done.

I'm looking at the code, and one immediately obvious problem is that  
the chunk of code that require's FXRuby (first attempt is from a gem,  
then from other source) is repeated in numerous places:

        begin
                require 'rubygems'
                require_gem 'fxruby', '>= 1.6.0'
        rescue LoadError
                require 'fox16'
        end

This really needs to be factored out into some central place, so that  
we can just generically say:

        require 'fox_support'

or something along those lines. Do you have any thoughts on this?

I don't want to be a showbreaker here but as far as I can see FXScintilla doesn't support Fox 1.6 
http://www.nongnu.org/fxscintilla/

I've just started writing a small utility that will show the removed/added methods between FXRuby versions when I found this out. If I am wrong then do please correct me

I managed to get FreeRIDE to work with Fox1.4
After cleaning up the code tomorrow I'll send a patch to this list so people who are interested can test it.

There wasn't really alot of work to do, the only method that had changed was reparent, which requires two arguments now.

Please let me know if there is interest in this code.

I'd say that you guys should go ahead with this one until Gilles  
releases a new version of FXScintilla. The CVS version of FXScintilla  
does in fact support FOX 1.6, but I don't know how close he is to  
making an official release.
