hi all-
this weekend i managed to compile the gsl (gnu scientific library),
narray,
and rb-gsl (ruby binding to gsl) under msys/mingw in a way that is
compatible
with the latest one-click installer.
i had a few hiccups along the way but it was more or less straight
forward.
i’d like to do a couple of things
-
clarify that a few of my fixes were the right thing to do
-
write up this process for others to be able to follow
-
package the thing up so people can use ruby/gsl under windows
easily
there are definitely holes in my windows-fu, as any of you who read the
list
will know, and i could really use some input from some of you windows
ruby
gurus out there.
if someone feels like pinging me offline to discuss that would be fine
or, if
people out there express interest and don’t think it’s too OT i’ll just
fire
off the questions here on the list.
regards.

Please do. My Windows karma is also pretty low but I may need to
compile to compile some home grown extensions. Your experience and
insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Guillaume.

So was this ever done? I can’t seem to find the one click installer
wiki where this was said to be posted. I have read a dozen or so posts
claiming to describe how to do it, but they are usually written assuming
a lot of prior knowledge and often provide only a nod and a wink about
hacking this and that without actaully describing what was done. For a
newbee that is very frustrating indeed. Posts seem to have dried up in
the last year or so on this topic, so window users like me must have
given up or moved on.
Help appreciated.

i’ve done it.
bit old, but located here
http://codeforpeople.com/lib/ruby/rb-gsl-win/
grab the tarball, unpack, and run: ruby install.rb
i had to hack the source a bit.

Try the sandbox for the new, MinGW/MSYS based installer?
It compiles Ruby from scratch, and simple C extensions should ‘Just
Work’ (so, Ruby-GNOME2 probably won’t, but tmail should).

fwiw my installer was done on to of mingw, so this is quite possible.
took a few source hacks, however.

it’s been far too long for me to remember what i did - but the work is
there for people to scour- sorry i can’t help more right now.
but it is possible, complete with narray.

Hey thanks. Worked a treat.
Now that I’m working with GSL I’ll work on learning how to do cross
compile other libraries via MinGW.

~ - You know you’ve been hacking too long when…
…you find out that you can’t get to sleep, because you are, in fact,
the program you’re designing, and can’t run to completion as the lower
level routines haven’t been coded yet. [This may be one of the
disadvantages of top-down design…]
