Hello!
I am a beginner to Ruby but i like it very much. After installing the
One-Click-Installer Version 1.8.6 i was very happy- everything worked finde. But
i had update to version ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision 24175)
[i386-mingw32] because of Look-Behinds in Regular Expressions.
But now the FxRuby Gem installed just fine but doesn''t work anymore- I
got an error, that msvcrt-ruby18.dll is missing (the old one from ruby 1.86
doesn''t work). After searching the Internet i know why:
FxRuby''s Source is compatible to 1.9 but the binaries are for the
one-click-installer Version. So the howto mean''s i have to compile Ruby
and FxRuby ... As a beginner this is a lot of confusing- I get some errors and i
don''t know which version of visual c++ i should use and so on. On the
other side I shouldn''t use the mswin32 version of ruby, because
it''s changing to mingw32. Here i also get a lot of errors installing
and try compiling with MSYS, MGWIN.
For WxRuby there is a special 1.9 gem available- works fine. But i want to use
FxRuby. Is there a way to get a FxRuby 1.9 Binary Gem for Windows?
Don''t get me wrong, but i spend hours of searching informations about
these problems- that''s not the Ruby Way, especially for a beginner
it''s very confusing and time intensive. A FxRuby 1.9 binary gem would
be perfect.
Thanks in advance,
Dirk
