Installing rubygame

HOWTOs for installing rubygame on your operating system of choice.

  • Linux (and other *nix systems)

    Rubygame is developed and tested on GNU/Linux (Gentoo, to be specific). Other users have had success on Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu "Dapper", as well as FreeBSD. One user even managed to run it on the Linux-based GP2X handheld.

  • MacOS X

    Rubygame can be compiled on MacOS X with libraries installed from fink or darwinports. To run rubygame applications, you must use a special ruby wrapper, for example rubyw or rsdl.

  • Windows

    A user-contributed binary DLL for rubygame 1.1.0 is available. You can compile it yourself, too, if you know how to work a compiler.
