From: Cees Zeelenberg Date: 2012-12-19T05:25:03+09:00 Subject: Re: current state of qtruby? I have been using qtruby for several years now and find the qtbindings gem the easiest way to stay up to date. The gem is well maintained and very popular with more than 16000 downloads on rubygems.org. I developed the qt_connect gem initially to make it possible to run my qtruby applications using JRuby. The main reason for doing this was that a qtruby application can then be compiled and packaged into a single jar file, which is great for distributing and protecting software sources. The qt_connect gem for JRuby provides bindings to the Qt Jambi Java classes and an interface to the Qt Jambi Signals and Slot mechanism. After using this for a while I found the Qt Jambi Signal interface made a lot more sense (for a Ruby programmer) than the one based on the C++ API and I extended the Ruby bindings to support the same interface. So the qt_connect gem can be used either with the qtbindings gem to provide a Ruby interface OR with the QtJambi jars to provide a JRuby interface to essentially the same qtruby programs. Since I published the gem on rubygems and github earlier this year, there have been about 600 downloads, but very little feedback. I certainly plan to maintain the qt_connect gem, but would apppreciate some more feedback. Cees -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
