Hi all, One of the net-ping users reported that the Net::Ping::External library was returning false positives on Vista. Basically, it does a ''ping -n1 host'' and checks for certain error strings. The problem is that the error strings it checks for are in English. The user in question is using a cmd.exe that''s entirely in Swedish (I think). Is there any way I can

Hi all, I created a "pure" branch on github that uses the code Heesob posted a while back: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/win32utils-devel/2008-November/001274.html However, I couldn''t make it work on my Vista laptop. c:\Users\djberge\Repositories\win32-service\examples>ruby demo_daemon_ctl.rb start VERSION: 0.8.0

Hi all, Any Java/JRuby folks on the list? I''d like to see if we can implement api.c for JRuby using JNA and see how it handles the callbacks. I''m not a Java guy, nor do I know JNA, but I''ll take a stab at it if no one else on the list does. Here are a couple of useful links: http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/09/jna-jruby https://jna.dev.java.net/ Regards, Dan This

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''ve been working on the win32-pipe library (again) and I''ve reworked the interface. Instead of Pipe.new_server or Pipe.new_client, there''s now a base Pipe class, with Pipe::Server and Pipe::Client subclasses. You can find the latest code in the CVS repo. Oh, and you''ll need to update your windows-pr library with the latest from CVS if you want to

Hi all, I must have been testing windows-pr with an old version of windows-api, because now when I run ''rake test'' for windows-pr I get this: C:\Documents and Settings\djberge\workspace\windows-pr>rake test C:0:Warning: require_gem is obsolete. Use gem instead. (in C:/Documents and Settings/djberge/workspace/windows-pr) C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/windows/api.rb:288:

Hi, For those of you that attended RubyConf 2007, what were your impressions? Any more thoughts on JRuby, Rubinius, IronRuby or Wuby? Regards, Dan

Hi, Windows Vista Home Premium ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-mswin32_90] I noticed there was an ordinal bug in win32-security and Ruby 1.9.x. I fixed those easily enough, but now we''re left with this: 1) Error: test_string_to_sid(TC_Win32_Security_Sid): ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Hi all, I''ve been going through the various IPC modules for Win32Utils and converting them to pure Ruby. I''m almost done with win32-mutex, but I can''t get the example to work. I keep getting this error: C:/Documents and Settings/djberge/workspace/win32-mutex/examples/mutex_test.rb:41: undefined method `+'' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from

Hi, I''m trying to build a binary for win32-open with a mingw install but I''m having trouble. I''ve installed MinGW 5.1.6 and I''ve got gcc, etc. But, when I run "ruby extconf.rb; make" I get the following error: C:\Documents and Settings\djberge\Repositories\win32-open3\ext>ruby extconf.rb checking for ruby/io.h... no checking for rb_pid_t in

Hi all, This is supposed to work, right? It works on 1.8.7 for me, but not 1.9.2 or 1.9.3: handle = File.open(''trap_test.txt'', ''w+'') Signal.trap(''ABRT''){ handle.print(''hello'') } Process.kill(''ABRT'', Process.pid) handle.rewind p handle.read # => "hello" with 1.8.7, empty string with 1.9.x and

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.

Dang, I thought we solved this. Any ideas? Dan PS - I realized after reading this I forgot to bump the version number for 0.3.3 - I''ve uploaded a new zip file with the correct version number. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

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.

Hi all, This is odd. It looks to me like we have all 4 variations of memcpy set in Windows::MSVCRT::Buffer but somehow this one creeps up. I actually noticed it in a few cases with that earlier mmap sub/replace example, but I wasn''t sure what was happening. Note that windows-api 0.2.3 and windows-pr-0.8.3 are the latest versions in CVS, but this happens with windows-api-0.2.2 and
