[wxruby-users] libgstreamer, slackware => libgconf.......???

[rvnues at tesco.net]

Hi  Mario,

I tried to persevere a bit, i.e. tried to compile gconf ....  Slackware does support a couple of libraries linked to the gtk/gnome-world but not officially: I found install scripts for GCconf and Orbit2 on Slackbuilds.org but after having these bits in my system I ran (with irb: require 'rubygems' => ok; require 'wx' => error) into lacking dependency libgstinterfaces-0.10.... which I hope is part of the gst-plugins-base but I could not get that one compiled without liboil...... all done now...

o.k. last test before I walk my dog:

 cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/wxruby-1.9.4-x86-linux/samples/bigdemo
 ruby bigdemo.rb

It runs !  And of course I found something odd... using sizers and clicking on the close button of the gtk-window (thus not via a button within the wxwidgets frame) the program crashes with:

(wxruby:12285): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_realize_icon: assertion `info->icon_pixmap == NULL' failed
bigdemo.rb:438: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24) [i486-linux]

Anyway, so far so good. Now I have to see whether with a minimal gstreamer install I can get this stuff done as well......

so required dependencies (for slackware pre12.1):

ORBit2
GCconf
gstreamer (libgstreamer)
liboil
gst-plugins-base
