Help Compiling Ruby 1.8.1

[Zach Dennis]

Things aren't going so well with Ruby's 1.8.1 source and VisualStudio6. Once
we get to the line:

H:\ruby-1.8.1\win32>nmake DESTDIR=temp install

Any help greatly appreciated.

P.S. - if borlands' install for ruby is smoother then vc++ then i will use
that. =)

Ok, I moved over to Borland( because it's free ) and I can't get the
configure.bat to work at all. Here is my new error:

I:\source\languages\ruby\source\ruby-1.8.1\bcc32>configure
1 file(s) copied.
MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland
MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland
Creating Makefile

** error 1 ** deleting -prologue-

I promise not to switch back. =) Thanks for any help. I'm sure this is a
silly error on my behalf,

Zach

You have to specify DESTDIR as absolute path.

Yes I do, I have one for my user profile and one for the system environment.
The user profile is:

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp

The system environment is:

%SystemRoot%\TEMP

Hmmm, do you set TEMP environment variable?

Ok...got it to get past that point!! There should be a disclaimer that you
can't run configure.bat from within the bcc32 directory. I had to run it
from the parent of that directory. So i did this:

I:\source\languages\ruby\source\ruby-1.8.1>bcc32\configure

instead of

I:\source\languages\ruby\source\ruby-1.8.1\bcc32>configure

But I am at my second point of errors. I can run 'make' and it goes good for
a while. Then I get:

ilink32 -q -Gn -S:0x2000000 -Tpe c0x32.obj main.obj
dmyext.obj,miniruby.
exe,nul,bccwin32-ruby18-static.lib cw32.lib import32.lib ws2_32.lib
Fatal: Unable to open file 'C0X32.OBJ'

** error 2 ** deleting miniruby.exe

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

Zach

Ok. I see the usage in the example in the README file. Can't believe I
missed it.
