[Rubyinstaller-devel] Wiki: Gem lists and misleading details
Hey Guys, I noticed a couple of this on the wiki page: http://wiki.github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/gem-list "7/22/09 Mongodb-mongo 0.9 1.3.4 4.3.3 WinXP Prof OK built via TDM-GCC" MongoDB does not need a compiler to be installed. C:\Users\Luis\Projects\oss\rubyspec>gem spec mongodb-mongo extensions --- [] Even so, stating "built via TDM-GCC" is misleading, since there is no compilation or build process involved. MongoDB ruby adapter is a Pure-Ruby solution that connects to MongoDB using HTTP. Adding those details raises some eyebrows since you are automatically bumping the complexity of the end-user experience and the steps they will need to take care prior installing something. So avoid stating a compiler was required or which one was used when there is no need for a compiler. Thank you. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away. Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry
I''m sorry, it should be nokogiri instead of mongodb-mongo. It was my mistake.
