now i'm getting this:
Generating wxRuby3 reference documentation...Error occurred: undefined method []' for nil:NilClass and i traced it back to : rakelib/lib/generate/doc.rb:807:in block in gen_constants_doc'

do you know what could be the reason?

Ok, first off, SLES12 is ancient and I have not tested anything on any Linux version that old. Your mileage may vary.

That said, if you can successfully build both a compatible wxWidgets version (3.2+; which it seems you can) and install a modern Ruby version I feel it should be possible to build wxRuby3 on this system.

There are 3 things I notice:

1. The 2 "INFO: Cannot find..." messages while building wxRuby3 are unexpected as you say you are using wxWidgets 3.2.4 and for this version these messages should not show; they are however relatively harmless and we should first see if we can fix other problems.
2. The message "Installation of binary gem with-wxwin requires an installed version of the patchelf utility." is fatal ass this tool is required for wxruby setup to successfully install the wxRuby3 extension libraries (and the embedded wxWidgets libraries). You say you downloaded and installed the 'patchelf' utility but have you tested if it actually works? Also does SLES12 have the standard utility command installed. The wxRuby3 build procedure executes command -v patchelf to see if the 'patchelf' tool is installed. If that fails it assumes the tool is not installed and the wxRuby3 installation fails.
3. Why have you downloaded and build wxWidgets yourself? In case a system does not have a (compatible) wxWidgets version installed the default wxruby setup command will automatically download (git clone) the latest stable release (which is 3.2.4 currently) and build that for embedded deployment with tested configure options.

i receive this error while trying to run the app (the gui opens up then loads something without me touching it and crashes)
i've installed msys2 with mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc and finished the setup fine i think, i had some problems regarding wh_setup path again but i changed it to the real path and the setup has finished
also my friend when he tried running the app received:
c:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.7.0/ruby_installer/runtime/dll_directory.rb:104:in `add_dll_directory_winapi': AddDllDirectory failed for C:/AVL/lib/gems/wxruby3-0.9.8/ext (RubyInstaller::Runtime::DllDirectory::WinApiError)
he doesn't have msys installed and just tried to use my installed gem as the gem lib is in a shared repo between us
do you have any idea what could be the problem?

i installed everything all over again:
https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/releases/download/RubyInstaller-2.7.6-1/rubyinstaller-devkit-2.7.6-1-x64.exe
with this version of ruby with msys in it
the setup finished with success but still we face the same issue of ntdl.dll as before & the local tests don't pass

the weWidgets the was installed via the wxruby setup is v3.2.4-with-msvs2012-fix
do you have any idea what can i try to make it work?

from wxruby3.

I'll be able to look into this some more coming week.
In the mean time please provide me with all details concerning your installation/setup:

• Windows version
• Ruby installer version (latest 2.7 release?)
• wxRuby3 setup commands

from wxruby3.

Thanks a lot!!
I have windows 11
rubyinstaller-2.7.6-1-x64 this is the ruby installer i downloaded with ruby 2.7.6p219 (2022-04-12 revision c9c2245c0a)
and i used the wxruby setup as is with nothing added

from wxruby3.

Ah, wxRuby3 has not been tested yet for Windows 11.
You may be a victim of some Windows 11 (clipboard) problems that have been reported for wxWidgets 3.2.4.
Unfortunately I have no Windows 11 available so I cannot test myself (have not found any CI runners yet either).
I'll see if I can find something out from the wxWidgets code.
Also I hope wxWidgets 3.2.5 gets released the coming week after which I plan to release wxRuby3 1.0.0 and than we can see if the problem still exists there.

from wxruby3.

What happens if you run the wxRuby3 'dragdrop' sample app?

from wxruby3.

i think it works

from wxruby3.

i found what causes the crash of the app, don't know why but when we do:
TextCtrl.new(win, -1, "", Wx::DEFAULT_POSITION, Wx::DEFAULT_SIZE, Wx::TE_RICH)
it gets seg fault
without Wx::TE_RICH it works
this is so far, we need to test the whole app but just to let you know

Good catch!
Can you please try running the wxRuby3 'widgets' sample and test the 'Text' page there. With that you can test the Wx::TextCtrl with and without styles like Wx::TE_RICH. I am curious to see if that sample crashes as well in your setup. It does NOT crash in my setup with Windows 10.
