MPD client written in ruby/qt?

Reply #26 –
I would be interested in helping develop for this client, if you could start putting what code you have on an svn, like on rubyforge or something.

whoa bump

Yeah, this was in development but the code I had written for it was lost. I'd love to start developing it again... give me a minute to check on mpd's status


Edit: It'll be http://librmpd.rubyforge.org/. The other lib is dead.
err... i'm not using windows any more ;)

Great!
I don't mean the stuff with the lost code or the dead lib

Count me in with the interested people.
I've been thinking of switching to mpd on OS X.

It's funny how the first hurdle in development is getting qt4-ruby to compile. cmake is broken in SVN and the current version has a broken ./configure.

Do you think ruby is a good choice if one just starts to learn programming?
Maybe I should accompany your project to learn a bit. (In case you use svn or something)

Ruby is a pretty simple language, and it's probably good as a learning language.

http://poignantguide.net/ruby/ is the online "book" most people use to learn (though people accuse it of being too weird... I tend to ignore those people), and the Pickaxe http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/ruby/index.html is the definitive reference for the language. http://ruby-doc.org/ also has a reference of every method of every object in the core language.

I'm using Mercurial, which is close enough to svn that if you've used svn before it shouldn't be hard to use.

Any help would be welcome, although you might want to read a bit up on Qt's signals and slots - since they're not in plain ruby.

Thanks, I start with poignantguide.
I haven't used svn or mercury yet but it can't be too figure out how that works.
I also have to have a look at qt.

I doubt that I can help you anytime soon, if at all, but I definitely give it a try.

Hooray - Qt4-ruby finally works!

This project is now all systems go.

You don't say?  It's full of waffle. If you're familiar with programming before hand, try this: http://www.rubyist.net/~slagell/ruby/index.html

Neat, another guide to look at, thanks.
Poignant's guide is a bit weird, yes, but if you are completely new to programming all that 'waffle' makes sense.
He just explains stuff with realworld-examples, well, not exactly that real, but this way they are easier to remember and that waffle keeps one entertained too.

Great, now I get an error during make of qt4-ruby
Lets just hope that there isn't much difference between 1.4.6 and 1.4.7

What's the error? qt4-ruby isn't very easy to build right now...

I'll do  a clean install of the next release of my distribution in a couple of days, so let's better save that
