Ruby bindings for the Developer's Image Library You need DevIL installed to use this extension
The Ruby Devil Project page is here: http://github.com/banister/devil
For debian:
- install the libdevil and libdevil-dev packages
For Gentoo:
- emerge "media-libs/devil"
For windows:
- download devil-dlls.zip from http://github.com/banister/devil/downloads
- and copy the uncompressed files to c:\ruby\bin\
For macosx:
- sudo port install libdevil
For other systems:
- install libdevil and lib-devil-dev using your package manager
- OR download and install the libraries from http://openil.sourceforge.net
After you've installed the DevIL libraries you install the gem by going:
- gem install devil
If you wish to use the Gosu and TexPlay extensions, it is necessary to also have:
- the Gosu gem (gem install gosu)
- the TexPlay gem (gem install texplay)
- ruby-opengl (gem install ruby-opengl)
For now, there is support for just a subset of DevIL functions, but it is enough for 95% things you may want to do.
For example uses, see test/ directory (note: that many of the examples use the Gosu library...this is often just for visualization purposes. Alot of the functionality does not depend on Gosu being present)
