On the Mongrel FAQ forum, Josh Wehner was having problems with cygwin
(don''t know if he fixed it).
http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=6978&forum_id=5450
Due that, I manage to install cygwin, ruby and rails on my humble
little computer, it compiled worked ok (taste like *nix, so I felt a
bit off-road running this).
Anyway, tried to pass test for mongrel, and still get 1 failure:
1) Failure:
test_header_is_too_long(WebServerTest)
[./test/test_ws.rb:81:in `test_header_is_too_long''
./test/testhelp.rb:14:in `redirect_test_io''
./test/test_ws.rb:79:in `test_header_is_too_long'']:
<[Errno::ECONNRESET, Errno::EPIPE, Errno::ECONNABORTED,
Errno::EINVAL]> exception expected but none was thrown.
Because cygwin IS windows, the sockets works the same way like mswin32 platform.
adding /mingw|cygwin|mswin/ regex to do_test solved the problem.
Now Mongrel compiles and works with cygwin. Don''t know who else would
like do that, but there you go.
