compiling ruby 1.8.1 (mingw)

[KONTRA Gergely]

Hi!

While compiling ruby, I run into the following:

./configure --prefix=/d/programs/ruby-mingw
[fine output]

make
[fine output]

make test
test succeeded

make install
./miniruby.exe ./instruby.rb --dest-dir="" --make="make" --mflags="-
--unix" --make-flags=" --unix" --mantype="man"¡jump!install -c -p -m
0755 ruby.exe /d/programs/ruby-mingw/bin/ruby.exe
install -c -p -m 0755 rubyw.exe /d/programs/ruby-mingw/bin
[ and so on...]

root@OJJEKTUM /d/programs/ruby-mingw
$ ls
lib

:-O So where is the bin directory, and my ruby.exe?

thx Gergo

I had similar problems when using the mingw+mysys environment.
For some reason the install process had trouble installing the extensions.
The problem goes away when I explicitly specified the install directory.
So I am wondering if

---
make install prefix=/d/programs/ruby-mingw
---

resolves your problem. Another thing to look at is that install process
might fail in creating the necessary directories in which case creating
them by hand might help.

Neither of them solves my problem ;-(

While compiling ruby, I run into the following:

./configure --prefix=/d/programs/ruby-mingw

I always compile everything with --prefix=/mingw where /mingw --> c:\MinGW i.e.
everything under MinGW tree.

Ruby pre2 compiled without any problem (MinGW 3.1.0 & MSYS 1.0.10rc2).

What is the contents of your fstab?

Sincerely,
Gour

Hi,

At Mon, 10 Nov 2003 22:27:36 +0900,

./configure --prefix=/d/programs/ruby-mingw

./configure --prefix=d:/programs/ruby-mingw

Ruby on mingw is NOT msys compliant.

./configure --prefix=/d/programs/ruby-mingw

./configure --prefix=d:/programs/ruby-mingw

Thx a lot! It was the problem.
