Are there going to be a one click installer for this new version? I'm having
trouble installing 1.9

The problem is not with Ruby itself but with the libraries it uses
(zlib for gems, readline for irb, openssl for encryption and https
networking, sqlite, ...)

Most of these use unique build systems and have binaries built for
windows with different compilers.

To link this all together with Ruby is a recipe for disaster.

For that reason Luis is working on a new One Click installer which
builds all the libraries and ruby from source using the MinGW
compiler.

Unfortunately not all of the libraries build well in the MinGW
environment out of the box (or on Windows at all) so the project
requires lots of tedious work. There are only development and testing
releases of this installer. As far as I know no final release that
includes at least all the basic parts is available.

Thanks

Michal

Cool, thanks!!! I will be patiently waiting

 

[Jayce Meade]

Yeah, I'm having some problems installing too... I can do the compiling,
I'll figure it out, but I can't figure out how I get the tools needed to do
it, the win32 readme said I needed these:

Note: building ruby requires following commands.
* nmake
* cl
* lib
* dumpbin

I have nmake, but how do I acquire the others? Google isn't helping me.

Thanks for this awesome release!

I was particularly interested in C-derrived languages due to my
experience with a scripting and config language based on C.

However, after some days of Ruby, I quickly got the gripe of the
dynamic, simple, yet powerful language and started to discover the
wonders this higher level language has to offer.
Pulled some friends into it, and have been able to learn from more
advanced programmers.

Since then i've been developing Ruby and Rails applications with a lot
of fun;
anything is basically easy to do.

Anyway, enough fan-talk!
Got a MinGW build ready and roling; Don't know if it's acustomed to
share, or self compile / wait for one click?

Are there going to be a one click installer for this new version?

Luis plans on releasing a mingw 1.8.6 and a mingw 1.9, so yeah [he was
waiting for the official release first].

You guys never read the instructions:

http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/documents/install.html

If you're installing garbage collect releases, you need to follow
these rules.

There are some errors when I make it:

After downloaded the package from the ftp instead of checking out from
svn,I can build it successfully,maybe the wrong thing I did is that
before exec ./configure,I had executed 'autoconf' and make someting goes
wrong.

Thanks to everybody involved, for all the effort you put into this, for
making my favorite language better.
Congratulations to all the community.

This is great - nice work by the ruby team!

In updating one of my gems for 1.9 compatability, I came across this
behaviour (which I don't believe I've seen noted in the other changes
lists), and just wanted to find out if it is expected:

$ irb

a = *[1]; p a => 1
$ irb1.9
a = *[1]; p a => [1]

Charles
