newt rubygem

DESCRIPTION

Ruby bindings for the newt library

Code is originally from Noritsugu Nakamura and is available at: www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~Nori/ruby/dist/ruby-newt-20020105.tar.gz

It was maintained by Eric Sperano and moved to theforeman github page in 2015.

See github.com/theforeman/ruby-newt/tree/master/examples for usage examples.

INSTALL

From rubygems.org

$ gem install newt

From source

$ git clone git://github.com/theforeman/ruby-newt
$ cd ruby-newt
$ gem build newt.gemspec
$ sudo gem install newt-*.gem

Development

$ rake compile

REQUIREMENTS

The Newt library and headers.

Fedora

$ dnf install ruby-devel newt-devel

Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install libnewt-dev

Mac OS X

$ sudo port install libnewt

Then, define these environment variables:

$ export LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/local/lib/"
$ export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/opt/local/include/"

For some reason, it does not always find the header so symlink it:

$ sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/newt.h  /usr/include/
