using the fox toolkit in ruby
The fox toolkit is a portable C++ graphical library. If you download old code (such as the nice rubyforger - that sits on top of libnet and libpcap) you may end up with some headache, so these easy steps will help to get your fox application up and running ![]()
Download and install the development files for the fox library:
apt-get install libfox-1.6-dev
Download the fox gem. In order to compile it, you may need to download the ruby1.8-dev package:
gem install fxruby
Once this is done, open the old file where you should find something like:
require 'fox14' include Fox #----- more stuff
You need to modify that to make it look something like:
require 'rubygems' gem 'fxruby' require 'fox16' include Fox #----- more stuff
And that should make it.
