Installing qt4-ruby bindings !!

i installed the qt4-ruby bindings just now. It is a little confusing ( for me atleast), so i describe here the process to install the bindings, (for linux, i am using Fedora 8).....
-> install qt4 on your system
->get the qt4-ruby bindings from the RUBYFORGE site or from the following link, the following link might contain an old version , so go to the rubyforge site for the latest stuff, ....
http://www.filekeeper.org/download/eerpini/qt4-ruby-1.4.10.tgz
->install cmake on the system if it is already not present
on a Fedora system u can do this by just using 'yum install cmake'
->then extract the archive and change to that directory ,
->then run 'cmake .'
this will automatically configure and create makefiles .
->then run 'make'
this should automatically install the bindings, just write a sample ruby program to check if it works !

Hi Satish

Was trying out qt4-qtruby-2.0.3. As per your instructions, tried 'cmake', it comes out showing the options of cmake. I use FreeBSD 7.2.

Your blog design is very pretty!

Was history ! :)

This blog represents a part of my undergraduate life when I was extremely active. The blog contains about 59 posts and excluding the previous one all the others were written in a span of 6 months ranging from Jan 2008 - June 2008. Which just tells how active I was in those days, and these were times when the Wi-Fi at campus was still in the planning phase and I was using internet over my GPRS enabled ancient Nokia 7610 (using wvdial + rfcomm over bluetooth). So it used to take like 10 minutes to update a post once written. But still never after that period have I written so much. Feels good to think about the intense work I did during the second year which looks simple now, but played an integral role in making me what I am today (if I am something !) !.

beginning again

Its been some time since I stopped writing here because I had my own site running drupal at http://satish.playdrupal.com, but today something happened which will work to change my life in the coming years. Whether for the good or bad, things after today will be in a new chapter in my life ,and as a resolution I have decided this blog and write stuff onto its pages, so those of you who have visited this blog and left in disappointment may not need to do so anymore. I will follow this post with a series of posts on using Linux for the common user.
