Now that most of the files required by rails are loading successfully, I’m now trying to actually run a number of gems/rails use cases: ir.exe c:\rubygems-1.1.1\setup.rb ir.exe c:\ruby\bin\gem -h ir.exe c:\ruby\bin\gem -list ir.exe c:\ruby\bin\gem install rails ir.exe c:\ruby\bin\rails -h ir.exe c:\ruby\bin\rails my\_rails\_app ir.exe c:\my\_rails\_app\script\server ir.exe c:\my\_rails\_app\public\dispatch.cgi I installed the MRI windows one click installer and replaced the i386-mswin32 directory with an ironruby directory that contains stubs for: thread.so, etc.so, socket.so, stringio.so, syck.so, zlib.so, digest.so, digest/sha2.so, openssl.so, enumerator.so, bigdecimal.so, nkf.so, strscan.so The following lists the problems that I encountered (and in some cases worked around) for these use cases: gems setup.rb: - Mutex class not declared (from Thread.so) - gsub $n bug [bug #20137] - Hash modified during iteration [bug #20198] - require infinite loop [bug #20131] - Time::gmt\_offset not implemented [patch #20175] - Dir.glob unexpected character [bug #19843] - define\_method overload missing [bug #20119?] - Mutex::synchronize method not implemented - File::stat, lstat & unlink methods not implemented [bug #20252] gem -h: gem list: gem install rails: - Interrupt class not declared - Regexp.new(string, string) method not implemented - YAML::Syck::Resolver class not declared - YAML::Syck::DefaultResolver constant not defined - YAML::Syck::Resolver::use\_types\_at method not implemented - YAML::Syck:GenericResolver constant not defined - YAML::Syck:Parser class not declared - YAML::Syck:Emitter class not declared - Digest::SHA256 not defined - Module::define\_method(:symbol) { block} overload not implemented rails generate myapp: - ResolveSourceUnit load source with no extension [bug #20206] - Signal.trap method not implemented rails runtime (webrick): rails runtime (dispatch.cgi): - ENV::each method not implemented - Regexp unrecognized escape sequence \_ [bug #20205] - File::SEPARATOR = ‘/’ rather than ‘’ ??? - Module::method\_added method not implemented - Thread::critical= method not implemented - NKF class not implemented (from nkf.so) - send attr\_accessor [bug #20242] ---

Wayne, How are you going about creating the list of problems as you try and load things? Are you just using trial and error or are you using something else to uncover the missing pieces? Thanks, Steve ---

I was using an automation script to generate the tally of different types of known errors back when I was attempting to load the 100s of different ruby source files required by rails. Now, I’m pretty much just running the different use cases and seeing where it crashes.
