This is an installer for installing Qt4-QtRuby (including Ruby user interface compiler and resource compiler) under Microsoft Windows. Qt4-QtRuby (developed by Richard Dale and others) is a very useful extension allowing you to use Qt from within the Ruby programming language. The installer requires Qt-4.3.0 Open Source Edition and Ruby 1.8.6-25 for Microsoft Windows to be installed first. Make sure you are using exactly this versions of Ruby and Qt, because otherwise the Qt4-QtRuby binaries will be incompatible.

The source code of the installer is currently included in the HornetsEye package. The

installer was developed using NSIS and RubyGems. Please contact me if you encounter problems using the installer.

Download

You can download the Qt4-QtRuby installer for Microsoft Windows here: qtruby4installer.exe

Troubleshooting

Unfortunately the Qt4-QtRuby installer currently cannot detect failure of installing the qtruby4-gem. To check whether the gem installed properly, open a command-line and enter the following command

gem list qtruby4

If qtruby4 is not listed, the gem failed to install. You can find the gem in the temporary directory after running the installer. The gem can be installed manually using the command line.

C:
cd %TEMP%
gem install qtruby4-*.gem

If this fails, the error message may give you an additional clue on what is wrong.
