[Kde-bindings] Building QtRuby on MeeGo - any advice?

[Declan McGrath]

Just a quick update. QtRuby is happily building on MeeGo though I
haven't tested it yet. I've gone back to the minimum install approach
of just copying the qtruby directory out of kdebindings, rather than
the entirety of kdebindings (though the latter worked as well). I've
published a very rough guide as to the steps I went through at

http://www.theirishpenguin.com/2010/08/10/ruby-bindings-for-qt-building-qtruby-on-meego/

I will need to do a lot of polish on this blog post (the post is not
on planetkde) but I just said I'd put it out there now, in case any of
ye reading it sees something that looks completely wrong, or just
plain awkward, in the way I've gone about this.

In any case, thanks again for all the help,
Declan
