[dennou-ruby:002645] RubyDCL and Robotics (Fw: Using DCL for RubyInLabs)

[Takeshi Horinouchi <horinout@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

電脳Rubyの皆様：

堀之内です。

面白いメールを貰ったので、許可を得て転送します。
フランスの研究者が、ロボティックスでRubyを使おうとして
いて、いまはとりあえず RubyDCL を FOX GUI で使うための
改造をしようとしてるそうです。

メールを貰った理由は、Windows でのコンパイル方法がわからない
からということで、大変すみませんが乙部さん、フォローお願いでき
ないでしょうか。

なお、結果をフィードバックしてもらえれば、他の人も DCL が
FOX で使えるようになりますね。

 Subject: Using DCL for RubyInLabs
----

Dear Mr. Horinouchi,
My name is Bruno Steux. I am Assistant Professor in Ecole des Mines de 
Paris, a french institute depending on the Ministy of Industry. I'm 
working in a Robotics Center, and I'm using the Ruby language more and 
more in my application. Indeed, I'm planning to make Ruby as the 
reference language for all our robots and in-car applications. At the 
moment, I would like to build a software environnement to ease the use 
of Ruby for scientific applications, that would be called RubyInLabs, 
and probably in the future RubyInBots for robotics.
Here why's I'm writing to you : I would like to include in RubyInLabs 
your Ruby/DCL lib. I'm planning to build RubyGems out of Narray, 
Ruby/DCL and Ruby/GSL, in order to ease their installing and use 
(particularly under Windows). This should be rather easy. Before that, 
I'd like to modify a bit the Ruby/DCL to support writing into bitmaps 
(byte array) so that we could you use the FOX GUI Library along with DCL 
(just like you did with gave and GTK+). Basically, I'd like to write a 
new driver for the DCL lib. This is where I have troubles : I don't know 
how to recompile Ruby/DCL for Windows. It looks like I miss some files 
in the Windows distribution. And I really can't understand any word of 
Japanese, so I'm a bit lost on that... I just know I need a proto2c.rb 
file.
Would it be possible that you help me sending where to retrieve the 
necessary files to rebuild NumRu on Windows?
Thank you for your great work anyway. DCL/Ruby is really working nicely.
Best regards,
   B. Steux
