Hello Chad, I installed and tried out rubygems for one of the win32-utils projects named win32-mmap. This is on Win XP (Home). Here is how I did it but got some errors (see at the end). I must be doing something wrong. Please help ... -- Shashank #------------------------------------------------------------ require ''rubygems'' spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|

Hi all, At RubyConf this year I talked about win32-mmap with Patrick Hurley and Ara Howard. Ara mentioned that Guy''s version of mmap (for Unix) contains some string-like methods that let you access pieces of the view like a string. Patrick and I came up with this (which requires the latest windows-pr in cvs so that we can use a more flexible version of memcpy, as well as some

Hi all, I''m trying to build some gems for the Win32Utils packages, but I''m having a problem. Below is the gemspec. Specifically, the issue seems to be the require_path. If I set it to "lib", it sets the path properly, but installs the .so file in the wrong place - it puts it under lib, instead of lib/win32. However, if I specify ''lib/win32'' it

If you live in the Mountain West (Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah), or don''t mind a bit of travel, You should look into the 2007 MountainWest RubyConf in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 16th and 17th. We''ve got a great line up of speakers, including the JRuby team, Ara T Howard, and a keynote by Chad Fowler. Registration is just $50, hotels are affordable, and pre/post

Dan/Park, What are your thoughts about implemented portion of the win32utils family that are written in ruby utilizing WIN32OLE. I have found myself writing decent amount of ruby code accessing the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) object models. I have a few scripts which could be added. I do not believe the functionality is currently available with win32utils: - map network drives -

Hi all, Is anyone on the list going to RubyConf this year? I don''t know yet if I''m going to go. I''m still thinking about it. Regards, Dan

Hi, I just got done using win32/service to run a very small/hack-ish "Riki" WEBrick service. Very cool stuff. Thanks. So, in the process, I noticed a lot of the "control" start/install/etc. command line parser stuff looked a bit boilerplate, so I pulled it out into a helper function "service_cli" (for lack of a better name). Its simple, but it allows me to do away

Any ideas folks? Thanks, Dan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kay <serphakay at hotmail.com> Date: Sep 19, 2007 10:52 AM Subject: win32-service of win32utils To: djberg96 at gmail.com I''m writing some scripts to programmatically change the user account of running a windows service. So I downloaded one of the windows utilities, win32-service, and wrote my scripts.

Hi all Sorry folks, I won''t be at RubyConf this year. I burned up the travel budget with a trip to Thailand, a makeup trip to Florida, and I''m headed to Florida again this Christmas. At least this gives me more time to work on Wuby. :) Regards, Dan

Hi all, I realized the current implmentation has a problem - you can only get the last value set? I realized, after looking at the old C code, that it actually stores values in a hash and marshals the hash, not the values themselves. That seemed clunky to me, though. I thought it would be more interesting if we just marshalled the entire mmap object and passed that back and forth.

Excellent! Like I said, I really need to do some code cleanup. I''ll also be adding the config_group and config_user methods :) Dan -----Original Message----- From: Date, Shashank [Non-Employee] [mailto:Shashank.Date@mail.sprint.com] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 10:19 AM To: Berger, Daniel Subject: RE: [Win32utils-devel] RE: win32etc test failure That worked !

Chad Fowler gave two keynote presentations at CUSEC 2006 in January. The second one he gave was entitled "Rails is Boring and Ruby is a Toy" and is available through the SOENlive podcast. For those handful who might of not heard of Chad Fowler yet, he is the author of "Rails Recipes" which is presently available as a beta book. (Great book, you should get it out)

Hi all, The topic of creating a unified API for open3 for Windows came up at RubyConf 2004 this year. Park, I was wondering if you would mind if we modified win32_popen so that the API matches the open3 library that ships with Ruby. This also means deciding whether or not to leave in the open2, open4, and posix stuff. I guess it doesn''t hurt to leave this in, although Open3.open4
