Re: no (ruby) bindings update?
by Christian Loose on Tuesday 11/May/2004, @00:48

Will the ruby bindings (Korundum) contain only stuff from kdelibs or will it also contain non-core libraries like libkcal? Or asked differently, how hard would it be to generate those bindings and ship them with an app?

Korundum only contains stuff from kdelibs (and Qt). It is driven by the file kdebindings/smoke/kde/kde_header_list, and so you might just need to add the libkcal headers to that in order to add them to Korundum (and link libsmokekde against libkcal). That would allow you to try kcal ruby programming. But does it have any of its own namespaces? If so, they would need to be added the QtRuby runtime which would be extra work, although not much.

The current version of the SMOKE library is a bit monolithic, and so you either have to add classes to the Korundum extension or not at all. It isn't possible to have a kcal specific extension that could be used in conjuction with Korundum. This is because in SMOKE v1 each method is identified with a short integer. In SMOKE v2 the methods will be indentified with a URI which should make it more flexible.
