A Ruby 2.0+ Devil with better support for Windows

• Fixed all deprecation warnings, like using Config (replaced by RbConfig)
• Solved an issue, when compiling on Ruby 2.0 on Windows caused errors.

How to install

• Install Ruby DevKit, following instruction from DevKit's manual
• Download DevIL here and copy include files to %RUBYINSTALLDIR%/include/ and all library files to %RUBYINSTALLDIR%/lib/, where %RUBYINSTALLDIR% - folder, where Ruby installed (not DevKit)
• This and following steps has been tested on Windows only. In gem folder run "rake compile"
• Run "rake native gem"
• Run "cd pkg"
• Run "gem install --local devil-0.1.9.5-x86-mingw32.gem" (x64 - if you architecture is x64)
• That's all. Don't forget to copy shared libraries of DevIL to some easily accessible place for a system (like system32 folder)
• If some step causes errors, check this page

Ruby bindings for the Developer's Image Library You need DevIL installed to use this extension

The Ruby Devil Project page is here: http://github.com/banister/devil

Installation Instructions:

For debian:

• install the libdevil and libdevil-dev packages

For Gentoo:

• emerge "media-libs/devil"

For windows:

• download devil-dlls.zip from http://github.com/banister/devil/downloads
• and copy the uncompressed files to c:\ruby\bin\

For macosx:

• sudo port install libdevil

For other systems:

• install libdevil and lib-devil-dev using your package manager
• OR download and install the libraries from http://openil.sourceforge.net

After you've installed the DevIL libraries you install the gem by going:

• gem install devil

If you wish to use the Gosu and TexPlay extensions, it is necessary to also have:

• the Gosu gem (gem install gosu)
• the TexPlay gem (gem install texplay)
• ruby-opengl (gem install ruby-opengl)

For now, there is support for just a subset of DevIL functions, but it is enough for 95% things you may want to do.

For example uses, see test/ directory (note: that many of the examples use the Gosu library...this is often just for visualization purposes. Alot of the functionality does not depend on Gosu being present)
