[Rubyinstaller-devel] Shared mingw ruby devkit folder
Now that I have 5 versions of ruby on my laptop, and 3 of them mingw, I decided to only have one devkit instead of 3. I modified the 3 batch files, and copied them in to the bin folders of each version. I don''t have time for a proper writeup right now, but here''s more detail: http://gist.github.com/123684 Once the devkit gem is released, this may be unnecessary, but I thought someone might find this useful. Thanks, Gordon

Basically I have a similar setup, that you can see here: http://github.com/luislavena/binfiles Hopefully the devkit gem will get released next week, which lead me to think: Where the devkit gem should put the batch files? side-by-side with ruby\bin or where the gem got installed? Also, since the gem will be shared across version of Ruby (thanks to Pik and GEM_HOME), what about "devkit check" command to ensure all the batch files are in place? Just checking, more to come on that subject ;-) Cheers, -- 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.
