Sharing some stuff + one question on mono

Ruby IronRuby
1

Hi,
two things:

  • I’m sharing in case it’s useful to someone else: I pushed some rake
    tasks
    here GitHub - thbar/ironruby-labs: Experimentations with IronRuby . I’m using it to
    download the DLR nightly to my Mac, patch ir.exe.config and launch mono
    ir.exe. I’ll add more things there as I go (including UI,
    experimentations
    etc).

  • is “mono Release/ir.exe -D somefile.rb” supposed to work with Mono 2.2
    and
    the latest DLR build (10584) ? It seems that I’m facing the issue Ivan
    reported a while back:

Macintosh:ironruby-labs thbar$ mono Release/ir.exe -D ui/ui.rb
mscorlib:0:in set_Fallback': Argument cannot be null. (System::ArgumentNullException) from mscorlib:0:in .ctor’
from mscorlib:0:in GetDecoder' from mscorlib:0:in Initialize’
from mscorlib:0:in .ctor' from mscorlib:0:in .ctor’

cheers,

– Thibaut

I have this bug fixed in my linux/mono branch. File a bug (if there
isn’t
one already) and I’ll submit my patch to it.

I’ve fixed this issue in Mono, the fix will make it in Mono 2.4.

I just sent out a pull request, here’s the diff to fix the error:

Hi,
just tested with the latest dmg from

thanks Jb!

When I build mono from svn then the compression stuff seems to be
improperly
linked.
I have no idea what I should be doing to make that link properly that
way I
can just keep up with the trunk version on my laptop.

It should be fine. Alternatively,the mono-2-4 branch from svn should
work as well, and will always be up to date.
