Installation and Usage ∞

[FAILED] 2011-08-25 ∞

Unity Linux, 2011-08-25, before the repository merger with Mandriva.

That this stuff was done after I had my success on Ubuntu, so lots of fun internal oddities could have been going on. But this was what I did to get it working.

I did not rake, I used the old compilation.

\smart install \
   git-core \
   libcairo-devel \
   libpixman-1-devel \
   libpango1.0-devel \
   libungif4-devel \
   libjpeg62 \
   libjpeg-devel \
   libgtk+2.0-devel \
   vlc \
   libvlc-devel \
   libportaudio-devel \
   libopenssl0.9.8 \
   libsqlite3-devel \
   libcurl-devel \
   curl \
 \cd ~
 \git clone git://github.com/shoes/shoes.git 
 \cd shoes 
 #\rake
 ~/shoes/dist/shoes
 #(then pick the shoes ruby script to run)

libcurl4-openssl-devel wasn't found, trying libopenssl-devel

\makeself wasn't found. is that https://makeself.io/?

It works, but I get these warnings:

/mnt/ssd/projects/ruby/live/shoes/shoes/dist/shoes-bin: /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /mnt/ssd/projects/ruby/live/shoes/shoes/dist/libcurl.so.4)
/mnt/ssd/projects/ruby/live/shoes/shoes/dist/shoes-bin: /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /mnt/ssd/projects/ruby/live/shoes/shoes/dist/libcurl.so.4)
/mnt/ssd/projects/ruby/live/shoes/shoes/dist/shoes-bin: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by /mnt/ssd/projects/ruby/live/shoes/shoes/dist/libcurl.so.4)

[SUCCESS] Ubuntu? ∞

This was probably Ubuntu

My success was when I first Ruby Version Manager with Ruby 1.9.2 and then did:

\sudo \apt-get install \
   git-core \
   libcairo2-dev \
   libpixman-1-dev \
   libpango1.0-dev \
   libungif4-dev \
   libjpeg62-dev \
   libgtk2.0-dev \
   vlc \
   libvlc-dev \
   portaudio19-dev \
   libsqlite3-dev \
   libcurl4-openssl-dev \
   makeself \
   curl \
 \cd ~
 \git clone git://github.com/shoes/shoes.git 
 \cd shoes 
 \rake
 ~/shoes/dist/shoes
 #(then pick the shoes ruby script to run)

Shoes uses the .rb or the .shy extensions

Note that this is cloning the very frontier of shoes development, and may be buggy. I don't have an example script on hand to give you the 3.0.0 release from git.

Example scripts ∞

Text:

Shoes.app do
  para( "Hello, World!" )
end

A button:

Shoes.app :width => 300, :height => 200 do
  button("Hello, World!") { alert("Hi!") }
end

More examples are found in the Shoes tutorial.

Compiling/Packaging

To compile a standalone program, use the GUI given from shoes -p.

Previous failed installation ∞

My initial failed attempt:

\sudo \apt-get install \
  git-core \
  libcairo2-dev \
  libpixman-1-dev \
  libpango1.0-dev \
  libungif4-dev \
  libjpeg62-dev \
  libgtk2.0-dev \
  vlc \
  libvlc-dev \
  portaudio19-dev \
  libsqlite3-dev \
  libcurl4-openssl-dev \
  ruby1.8-dev \
  rake \
  rubygems \
  makeself \
  curl
\git clone git://github.com/shoes/shoes.git
\cd shoes
\rake VIDEO=0

Other failures:

\sudo  \gem  install  extensions

I believe these issues were all with Ruby 1.8.7.
