Installation of Win32-service module

Ruby
1

Hi,

I intend to use Win32-service module to perform some operations with
Windows
services.

I downloaded win32-service-0.5.0 from Rubyforge and referring README,
when I
try to install this module by issuing “ruby extconf.rb” which results in
following messages on console,

checking for EnumServicesStatusEx()… no
checking for QueryServiceStatusEx()… no
creating Makefile
mkmf.log file gets generated with following contents,

/* end */

I verified by running daemon_test.rb program that Win32-service was not
installed.
I have ruby 1.8.4(2005-12-24) installed on my machine.

Please help me out with the above issue.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

Windows
services.

I downloaded win32-service-0.5.0 from Rubyforge and referring README, when
I
try to install this module by issuing “ruby extconf.rb” which results in
following messages on console,

checking for EnumServicesStatusEx()… no
checking for QueryServiceStatusEx()… no
creating Makefile

Above is normal message for Visual C++ 6.0.
EnumServicesStatusEx and QueryServiceStatusEx added for Visual C++ 7.0
or
higher.

I verified by running daemon_test.rb program that Win32-service was not
installed.

After “ruby extconf.rb”
You must run “nmake install” to complete installation.
Then verify by running deamon_test.rb

Hi Park,

I get following error message when I run “nmake install”,

after running nmake i confirmed that win32-service has not been
installed.

your help is appreciated.

I understand that “Cl” is the MSVC++ command line compiler, which looks
like
is not installed on my pc. is this a pre-requisite for using
win32-service
module?

I downloaded InstantRails which provides ruby,rails, apache and mysql; I
found that the ruby provided by InstantRails comes with win32-service
module, I tried using it by running daemon_test.rb and bingo, it ran
fine.

Now I dont want to depend on InstantRails, instead I would like to
install
win32-service module in a version of ruby which does not have
win32-service
module; for that do I need to have MS VC++, nmake utility on my machine?

Thanks and Regards

Thanks Park!
I am able to use win32-service module after copying service.so file to
mentioned location.

You can download compiled binary file “service.so” at
http://home.nownuri.net/~phasis/service.so

Copy “service.so” to “\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\i386-msvcrt\win32”
folder.
