Very complete bindings to both the KDE API and the Qt APIs. The Korundum package includes both a QtRuby Qt-only binding along with the full combined Qt/KDE one. The QtRuby package contains just Qt bindings with no dependencies on KDE.

Korundum/QtRuby - Ruby-KDE/Qt bindings

NEW - The book Rapid GUI Development with QtRuby is now available.

Being Smoke-based bindings means that they offer full access to most KDE 3.x and Qt 3.x classes.

QtRuby

Hello world example:

!/usr/bin/ruby -w

require 'Qt' a = Qt::Application.new(ARGV) hello = Qt::PushButton.new("Hello World!", nil) hello.resize(100, 30) a.mainWidget = hello hello.show() a.exec()

Current api coverage overview
