Can Ruby be used to develop simple Windows applications
Ruby is not primarily a web programming language even though Ruby on Rails is certainly suited for web development. Ruby is a general purpose scripting language.
The FXRuby and WxRuby frameworks are the most fully featured GUI frameworks for Ruby,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. You can write the apps in Ruby and then generate a Windows executable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. If you want something more cross platform then you might consider a wrapper like shoes or qt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Qt toolkit seems the most popular way to do it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. This seems to make it as simple as pie to create windowed apps in ruby,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I'm using it to write a game log parser to generate statistics from a flight sim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. It's ticking along nicely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
I know this thread is old,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but for future reference to anyone who's looking into options for using Ruby for a GUI app,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], don't use QtRuby. I had developed a project for school in about a week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fully functional and pretty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only to find out that I could not release it. There was simply no way to package and distribute the application without having your users simulate your exact environment (install all the gem dependencies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], build Qt development libraries etc). I tried using:
Crate: supposedly cross-platform, but I found only 1 usage example that's written in 2008 out of ~2 hours of googling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the example basically covers a very specific subset of applications (some ssl/https authentication gem or w/e.)
Ocra: this looks like a candidate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it's windows-only and didn't meet my requirements, as I had to target the three primary platforms
Yes I'm angry and frustrated honestly, because I don't see the point of creating software that you just can't release for anyone to use. Now I'm left with a deadline coming up in a week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I just hope I make it in time porting the app to C++.
