Re: [MacRuby-devel] A QtRuby Version of The GC2 Client has Been Created
Thanks Josh ! I can see how this would be a problem with GVL. I was able to get it acceptable by limiting log size to 20 messages instead of sending entire log mandatorily. Small change allowed the server not to choke the client as much. Only reason I read every 1 byte is to try to allow n-sized multi-line messages. Not sure how I would add message sizes to the protocol, though it could be in like a LENGTH message, then sending the longer one and using #read to get the size of the buffer. I think that you're right in saying that can speed it up to 100% of the MacRuby and RubyMotion speed ( fast ).

It's a bit more work to get right, but it should resolve your performance issues.

Internally, Able to use Signals and Slots through the advanced techniques described around the web. Now have a working version of the chat available in the GlobalChat2 repository. https://github.com/jsilverMDX/GlobalChat2/tree/master/gc2-qtruby It runs on 1.8.7 and 1.9.3. It lacks many of the features of the advanced MacRuby client coming soon to App Store. It uses QtDesigner for the GUI files with the UI loader and should run natively on Mac, Windows and Linux. However, one thing. The MacRuby client is DAYS faster getting a big log back from the server than QtRuby, and the signal is obviously not to blame. This happens on both 1.9 and 1.8.7. Any ideas?

I've created a ticket about this, 4.0 support planned. Thanks !

Cool! :) I'm glad you found QtRuby useful, I might actually be the best option for cross-platform ruby GUI apps :) BTW, how big is the executable on each OS? Does it bundle ruby? This is my main concern about MacRuby :/ Sent from my iPhone On 23/11/2012, at 18:54, J Silver jsilverm...@gmail.com wrote: I've created a ticket about this, 4.0 support planned. Thanks !

Re: [MacRuby-devel] A QtRuby Version of The GC2 Client has Been Created
Yes QtRuby works great. I didn't have any success bundling on OS X. I tried Platypus but it didn't work. QtRuby doesn't seem to have any packager. However, there are reports that it works with Ruby-OCRA on Windows to make an exe. I think that when used with OCRA it will make an exe with all gems and a Ruby.
