Matz, thank you for releasing 1.8.4!!
i was wondering if i can manually update the windows one-click-installer to
1.8.4
if anyone knows how, that would be great, if not, i'll wait for that
release..
merry christmas!
Dirk.

Let me second (or whatever it's up to) that. Thanks for allowing the Syck
patch, too.

There will be a release some time in the next couple of weeks (thanks for
your work on that, Mr. Curt Hibbs), but you can certainly run 1.8.4 on
Windows before that. If you want to compile Ruby, to play nice with the
One-Click Installer you might need to use the same compiler (VS7 IIRC).

Alternatively, you can get the Ruby-mswin32 build from
http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/ - "1.8.4" will probably be up
shortly, and even if it isn't, I'm pretty sure the Dec.23 version of
1.8.4-preview3 is identical.

Happy Christmas!
Dave

Has anyone else tried to build this with MSVC Version 14? At first, I
got:

.\miniruby.exe ./win32/mkexports.rb -output=msvcr80-ruby18.def
msvcr80-ruby18-static.lib
/win32/mkexports.rb:6:in `foreach': Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF)
from ./win32/mkexports.rb:6
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '.\miniruby.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

After debugging, it appeared that _WIN32_WCE should be changed to _WIN32
at line 143 of win32.h and numerous places in win32.c. That gives me a
working miniruby.exe, but I can't make any further progress in nmake: I
get

I also get an error at that line in that file:

This was using the .NET 2.0 nmake utility.

You need to use a snapshot after 2006/01/01. I am working on the steps
that will be necessary.

I managed to compile the latest stable snapshot this way:

set MAKE=nmake
nmake

There seems to be an issue with backslashes and miniruby. If you don't
set MAKE, miniruby is called with something like
--make="c:\Programme\VS8\VC\bin\nmake.exe", and the backslashes get lost
somehow.

Yes, but you don't want to. It's *not* Ruby itself. I will be talking
to some developers from Microsoft later this week, I hope, to see what
can be done toward the overall problem.

I'm having the same problem mentioned compiling the newest release of
ruby (1.8.5-p12). I'm trying to compile it with VS2005 under WinXP SP2,
VS2005 SP1. Running configure.bat from the VS2005 Command Prompt works
fine, but after running nmake, I get the following error:

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

The reason I'm needing to compile ruby is because I'll be compiling a
dll with VS2005 using SWIG, to be imported into a ruby app. Any help
would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Amir
