I was wondering if anyone was using wxruby. I am writing an application based on ferrett (a ruby port of the java lucene text indexer). The program needs to run on both osx and linux and I was hoping to be able to create a cross platform gui that looked native on each system, hence, wxwidgets.
There don't appear to be any deb packages for wxruby floating around so I was wondering if anyone had compiled and installed on ubuntu. I am fairly new to the process, so if anyone has any guidance as to what dependencies are needed and the like I would be greatful.
If you are using it, how well is it working for you? Am I better off just writing a cocoa gui in osx and a gtk+ gui for linux separately?
I was considering using python, since wxpython seems more mature, but was unable to get pylucene, the python lucene port, to work on ubuntu. If anyone has had any experience with this I would be interested as well.
