Wx::Scintilla class not defined

I'm posting this for a friend who is having trouble with
this and here is 
his message.

"Heya!  I'm working on a script editor application, but
it's missing one key 
feature: Syntax highlighting.  Seeing this, I looked around
in the sample 
directory and came across scintilla.rb.  I attempted a run,
however Ruby 
reported Wxruby2::Scintilla as an uninitialized constant!
So now, I'm wondering what happened to the class.  Is there
an external file 
workaround for this, or will I have to set_style many times
in a TextCtrl 
object?"

Brandon,

Scintilla is an optional component that has to be turned on
when the
WxRuby library is compiled. I do not think it is being
compiled into
any of the recent releases, I can tell you for a fact that
it is not
compiled into the OS X Intel and Windows build because I
compiled
those. As for the OS X PPC and Linux you will have to ask
Alex.

Your friend may want to build his own version using the
instructions
at the wiki:
(see section Building and installing from source)
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Installation

(see section How to make a wxRuby binary gem on linking in
scintilla
during build process)
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Release_HowTo


I hope that is helpful for him

Sean

No they don't either. It has been down to the hassle of
compiling them 
because wxRuby was targetting an extra download.

Now we've upgraded to wxWidgets 2.8.3 there's a much more
recent and 
better maintained version of Scintilla shipped with the
wxWidgets to 
build against.

When building wxWidgets you can do

cd contrib/src/stc
make
sudo make install

There's also SWIG code in wxRuby to make Wx::Scintilla work
but it would 
need a little tweaking to make it work with the 2.8.3
wxWidgets - 
tweaking build params etc.

I don't have time to look into right away but ultimately I'd
like to 
make Wx::Scintilla a core class.
