Hi, I’ve been trying to get ruby going on my windows CE device, but I can’t get it to compile correctly. Has anyone here managed to get Ruby going on a windows CE device? I know there are some binaries on [ruby-mswince](http://uema2.s8.xrea.com/ruby-mswince/), but none of those run on any of my devices… Kind regards, Wim ---

Unless you have a command-line shell you’ll want to download the WinCE Plus! pack for your machine, install the file association tool and associate ruby scripts with either ruby.exe or rubyw.exe so they launch from the explorer shell.

I haven’t tried sockets due to lack of a compatible network card and my eyes are allergic to Tk 😉 Ellie ## Eleanor McHugh Games With Brains raise ArgumentError unless @reality.responds\_to? :reason
