Hi , I am trying to install Antwrap-0.7.0.gem and rjb-1.1.x gems in cygwin and windows also , I’m stuck so I thought I ping out to see if anyone else has done this. Last one week i have been working on issue .Any help would be appreciated. ## Error states that in this below manner. $ gem install Antwrap-0.7.0.gem ERROR: [http://gems.rubyforge.org/](http://gems.rubyforge.org/) does not appear to be a repository Building native extensions. This could take a while… ERROR: Error installing Antwrap-0.7.0.gem: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb install Antwrap-0.7.0.gem checking for jni.h… no \*\*\* extconf.rb failed \*\*\* Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

Hi Srinivasa, there are two distribution of Antwrap: - This first one is for C based Ruby interpreter (MRI). It has a dependency on RJB (RubyJavaBridge), a gem that enables you to load and instantiate Java Classes from within a ruby process. Antwrap needs this to load and execute Ant tasks. - The second distro is meant to run on JRuby, and thus has no no dependency on RJB because it can load Java classes via the interpreter. When you install Antwrap, it will ask you to choose the distribution with the choice of Ruby or Java. You have chosen the first option, and the failure is occurring during the installation of RJB. It is trying to compile it’s classes using the gcc, but it is having problems resolving the location of your JAVA\_HOME (RJB needs to link to some C libraries in the JVM). This problem is probably due to the Cygwin paths. Try putting this into your .bashrc or .bash\_profile file: export JAVA\_HOME=$(cygpath -ua $JAVA\_HOME) export PATH=$JAVA\_HOME/bin:$PATH There are some other suggestions on how to solve this here: [http://arton.no-ip.info/collabo/backyard/?HowToBuildRjb](http://arton.no-ip.info/collabo/backyard/?HowToBuildRjb) Let me know how this goes for you.

Hi Caleb, Thank for your helpful suggestions. Installed rjb and antwrap successfully.Started working on antwrap. ## My code is below. options = {:ant\_home=\>“D://apache-ant-1.7.1”, :name=\>‘BotServer’, :basedir=\>“C://InstantRails-1.3a-with-PHP-5.1.4//InstantRails//rails\_apps”, :declarative=\> true, :logger=\> Logger.new(STDOUT), :loglevel=\> Logger::DEBUG} puts “options------------------------------1” antProject = AntProject.new(options) antTask = AntTask.new(‘ws-run -DD=PRnnn’, antProject, {:debug =\> ‘on’, :verbose =\> ‘no’, :fork =\> ‘no’}) puts “before task------------------------------” antTask.execute() ## While running i am facing problems. → up to options i was able to execute. → then i am getting error in this below manner (debugger not at all excecute ant project code.) ## My varaiables shows this value for creating instance for AntProject exception uninitialized constant TestRunsController::AntProject @blamed\_files Empty Array md nil msg nil origin\_file nil origin\_line nil Here TestRunsController is my controller. Could you please help me in this regard. * * * Caleb P. wrote: > Hi Srinivasa, > > there are two distribution of Antwrap: > > - This first one is for C based Ruby interpreter (MRI).
