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.
