You don't need to install it, just cd into the "ruby-1.9.1-p429-i386-mingw32\bin" directory and run ruby/irb or what not (or add that folder to your PATH). > I don't want to start getting sidetracked.

Unfortunately your original quest was to build ruby using VC with the Tk extension installed. I've never done that. The "main line" ruby installer has moved to mingw so almost *nobody* does that anymore. You are treading in difficult waters and unless you want to tread alone, I would recommend going with a more standard approach. The directions in that tutorial are out of date. Why punish yourself? If you follow my instructions *already given you* for building it with mingw (search for "ruby18"), it will work for both ruby18 or ruby19, depositing a working ruby into sandbox/ruby_mingw for you to work with. Currently there isn't a one click distributable for 1.9 that has Tk, but it's in the works. If you want a one click distributable for 1.8 that has Tk, search the above threads for "RC2" GL! -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I installed the 32 bit versions but now having errors with the Microsoft compiler. So dealing with that now. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

On a FreeBSD 8.0 machine I went to \usr\ports\lang\tcl85 and as root ran; make install clean. This installed tcl 8.5. On command line if I run; tclsh85 I get tcl prompt. Then if i type; info patchlevel it shows; 8.5.8. Now I go to usr\ports\lang\ruby18 and run; make install clean. This installs ruby 1.8. If I type; ruby -v at the command line I get: ruby 1.8.7 (2009-12-24 patchlevel 248) [amd64-freebsd8] If I start irb and type; require 'tk' I get the error: LoadError: no such file to load -- tk Everything is in default locations. Ruby and tcl executables are in \usr\local\bin. I don't know where the installer put anything else. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The directions in > that tutorial are out of date. Why punish yourself? I didn't know it was out of date. That's the one I always find when I search for "ruby tutorial". I'd be happy to dump VC and go with mingw. > Currently there isn't a one click distributable for 1.9 that has Tk, but > it's in the works. > If you want a one click distributable for 1.8 that > has Tk, search the above threads for "RC2" I really don't care if it's 1.8 or 1.9. I just want to do GUI programming with ruby/tk. It sounds like the options are: 1. compile tk into ruby 1.8 (with mingw) 2. use 1.8 one-click installer that has tk 3. Compile tk into 1.9. 4. Use the 1.9 you made me until a 1.9 one-click installer comes out with tk. Is there any reason to stick with 1.8? I only did because that tutorial said to. If I should forget 1.8 and move to 1.9 that's fine I don't care. I prefer to have the latest anyway. > > GL! > -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
