Hi folks,

I try to get the sybase adapter installed. I downloaded the  
sybase-ctlib from here: [http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/sybase-ctlib](http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/sybase-ctlib)  
and now want to build the stuff on my winxp machine somehow. I decided  
to eclipse/cdt and downloaded mingw32-make, gdp and gcc.

I created a new project and imported the sybase-ctlib sources. With the  
extconf.rb I created the makefile and after cleaning up some of the  
windows-specific paths I run “mingw32-make all”.

When running mingw32-make I get this error:  
mingw32-make all  
makefile:123: \*\*\* target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.

The affected lines:  
117 site-install: site-install-so site-install-rb  
118 site-install-so: install-so  
119 site-install-rb: install-rb  
120  
121 .SUFFIXES: .c .m .cc .cxx .cpp .obj  
122  
123 {$(srcdir)}.cc{}.obj:  
124 $(CXX) $(INCFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) -c -Tp$(\<:=/)  
[…] lots more off this stuff

I try to help myself reading the make manual, but I want to get the  
sybase adapter running and not to become c/make expert ☹

Has anybody experienced this problem? Is there a good tutorial  
available on how to set up this lib on windows using eclipse/cdt (I  
found one using visual studio, which I don´t have)?

Thanks for any hint!

Regard,

Christian

Perfect! It works! Thanks a lot!

Christian

P.S. When the binaries are portable so easily, why does anybody has to  
build them themselfes. Would be nice, if somebody would provide them  
officially.

Hello,

I have only one ruby installation, I install the sybase adapter and try  
the isql.rb and other stuff directly from irb and it works.

However, if I tried under RadRails I can neither open the database or  
if I try using the RadRails console the require “sybsql” answers  
“false”.

Does anybody has an idea ?

Jeremy,

Are you the author of these binaries?

Can you have a look at my error -  
[http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse\_thread/thread/6bcff034a6d7466d](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/6bcff034a6d7466d)

Thank you!
