Hi,
I am exploring the possibility of creating ruby bindings for libvirt.
The only attempt I found after some searching is this:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~ckrintz/racelab/jisha/
Following the SWIG method as described in the above URL, I have
gotten to the following point:
[root@dell1 libvirt_ruby]# irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'libvirt_ruby'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> conn = Libvirt_ruby.virConnectOpenReadOnly("")
=> #<SWIG::TYPE_p__virConnect:0x2aaaaabc46c8>
irb(main):003:0> dom = Libvirt_ruby.virDomainLookupByID(conn, 0)
=> #<SWIG::TYPE_p__virDomain:0x2aaaaabb5df8>
irb(main):004:0> ret = Libvirt_ruby.virDomainGetInfo(dom, info)
NameError: undefined local variable or method `info' for main:Object
from (irb):4
irb(main):005:0>
I am not sure how to create and pass in a ptr to a virDomainInfo
struct object into the virDomainGetInfo call within ruby.
Note that I was trying to following the info1.c example on the
libvirt website:
http://libvirt.org/examples/info1.c
As you can tell, this is the first time I am trying to create any
sort of language bindings for a C library.
Some questions:
1. Is there a better way of creating ruby bindings for libvirt
besides SWIG? If so, any pointers on what should be done?
2. Alternatively I can try to make my ruby code use libvirt-python
bindings as a python library. Has anyone done so? Any problems with
this approach?
cheers,
mengkuan
