suffering increases your inner strength. also, the wishing for
suffering
makes the suffering disappear.

They are … concerned that we are still using VC6 as our compiler and
want to see what can be helped to provide better support for moving
Ruby to VC8.
here’s an example showing the abis of the c libs are not compatible:
Ara@windozer C:/msys/1.0/home/Ara/build/narray-0.5.8
$ /c/ruby/bin/ruby -r ./narray.so -e’ p NArray ’
./narray.so: 127: The specified procedure (isacii) could not be
found. -
./narray.so (LoadError)
Ara@windozer C:/msys/1.0/home/Ara/build/narray-0.5.8
$ /c/usr/local/bin/ruby -r ./narray.so -e’ p NArray ’
NArray
to reproduce
-
install msys
-
build an msys ruby:
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/c/usr/local/lib
- export LD_RUN_PATH=/c/usr/local/lib
- download ruby
- unpack
- ./configure --prefix=/c/usr/local && make && make install
-
download and build narray using msys ruby:
ruby extconf.rb && make && make install
if you’ve managed to install both the one-click and an msys ruby this
script
will demonstrate the issue (obviously run it from msys command line):
#! /bin/bash
msys_ruby="/c/usr/local/bin/ruby"
one_click_ruby="/c/ruby/bin/ruby"
unset RUBYOPT
cd ~
mkdir build 2>/dev/null
cd build
curl http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/7658/narray-0.5.8.tar.gz
narray-0.5.8.tar.gz
tar xvfz narray-0.5.8.tar.gz
cd narray-0.5.8
$msys_ruby extconf.rb && make && make install
$msys_ruby -r narray -e' puts "you just installed #{ NArray }" '
$msys_ruby -r ./narray.so -e' p "msys narray success!" '
$one_click_ruby -r ./narray.so -e' p "one_click_ruby narray
success!" ’
cd ~
i’ll be out of town all weekend, hopefully this is valuable info.
