The instructions on this page tell you what you need to do to be able to build FXRuby from source code on Mac OS X, with the help of MacPorts.
In order to compile anything, and before you can install MacPorts itself, you’ll need to first install Apple’s Xcode Developer Tools. These are included in the operating system installation DVDs (as an extra), or you can download them for free from Apple’s Developer Center.
Download the appropriate installer package from the MacPorts downloads page and get it up and running.
By installing the rb-fxruby port, you will automatically install FOX, FXScintilla, Ruby, and a host of other dependencies required for the build environment. This will take awhile to complete!
sudo port install rb-fxruby
