Hey all, If you tried to register with the Sapphire project but were unsuccessful, please try again. I didn''t have the email settings properly set, so I wasn''t getting the approval notifications. In any case, I''ve changed the project settings so that you should be able to login immediately after registration, without having to wait for admin approval. Regards,

Hi all, Yeah, I''m going OT here... I''m not entirely sure I understand how Ruby builds parse.y on Windows, but it works. However, when I changed all instances of "Ruby" to "Sapphire", and renamed all the source files, I suddenly started getting this error: byacc ./parse.y ''byacc'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

All, I got a bug report from Greg Holmes where the description wasn''t being returned properly. At the moment, if there''s no event associated with the event id, then the description is empty. However, it turns out that there can still be associated information about the event. So, I propose the following tweak to the get_description private method: # If FormatMessage()

Hi, I was going to modify the TaskScheduler#save method to take an optional file name. But, I need to convert a Ruby string to an OLE string. I thought I could use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692615(VS.85).aspx But, it only appears to accept literal string constants. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Dan

Hi, I''ve got a Windows XP VM on my OS X box. Whenever I call File.exists?("A:") on it I get a system error pop-up box from Windows. The title of the window is "Windows - No Disk" and the error is "Exception Processing Message" followed by some numeric codes. It''s not a huge deal - eventually control returns to the program and it returns false

Hi all, Dave Burt mentioned the possibility of adding symlinks to the Dir class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction There is also Autrijus Tang''s symlink Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Win32-Symlink-0.04/ Looks easy enough, but it only seems to work for directories, not regular files. Should we add this to the Directory class, or simply

Hi all, I''ve added some critical section methods to the Windows::Synchronize module in the windows-pr library (in CVS). Looking at the RUBY_CRITICAL macro from rubysig.h, it basically looks like this (in pure Ruby): def RUBY_CRITICAL(&block) critical_section = [0].pack(''L'') InitializeCriticalSection(critical_section)

Hi all, I''m going over win32-file this weekend. I''m creating instance methods for setting (or unsetting) the various file attributes. So, you can do something like: f = File.open("foo.txt") f.archive = true f.hidden = true f.close This works for the basic attributes, but it requires extra work for others. Specifically, I am having trouble trying to set the

Hi all, Has anyone else been able to build Ruby 1.8.7 from source on Windows?

I tried to download/compile/install win32-dir, but I couldn''t get it to go. Over a private email Daniel Berger had me... "Curious. What platform are you on exactly? Try modifying the extconf.rb file. Add ''have_library("SHFolder")'' above ''have_library("shell32")''. If that doesn''t work, try uncommenting the other

Along the same lines as the last question - how can I get to functions like MakeOpenFile via Win32API? It doesn''t seem to be exported by msvcrt-ruby18. Possible? Or am I out of luck?

Hi all, How does this look as a general approach to a SID.create method: # Creates and initializes def self.create(authority, *sub_authorities) if sub_authorities.length > 8 raise ArgumentError, ''maximum of 8 subauthorities allowed'' end authorities = Array.new(8, 0) authorities.replace(sub_authorities) count = authorities.select{ |e| e > 0 }.size

Hi all, I''m trying to build a gemspec for win32-ipc, using a precompiled binary.

Hi all, I know it''s deprecated, but people seem to still be using win32-changenotify, so I thought I''d see if I could make it pure Ruby. Also, I thought it would be a good opportunity to test passing a custom Win32::Event object. I''m mostly done I think, but I''m having trouble unraveling the FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION struct buffer. Please check out the
