win32utils devel - Nov 2004 - Attempt to build a gemspec

Hi all,

I''m trying to build a gemspec for win32-ipc, using a precompiled
binary.
Here''s my gemspec file:

#win32-ipc.gemspec
require "rubygems"

spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|

   s.name 			= "win32-ipc"
   s.version  		= "0.3.1"
   s.platform 		= Gem::Platform::WIN32
   s.summary 		= "A base class for Win32 synchronization
objects."
   
   s.files = ["ipc.so"]
   
   s.require_path = "."
   s.autorequire  = "win32/ipc"

   s.has_rdoc = true
   s.extra_rdoc_files = ["README","CHANGES"]
   
   opts = ''-S --title A base class for Win32 synchronization
objects.''
   opts << '' --main README''
   s.rdoc_options = opts

   s.test_files = Dir.glob("test/tc_*.rb")

   s.author   = "Daniel J. Berger"
   s.email    = "djberg96@yahoo.com"
   s.homepage = "http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils"

end

if $0 == __FILE__
   Gem.manage_gems
   Gem::Builder.new(spec).build
end

It seems to build fine.  When I run ''gem install'' however, I
get this:

C:\eclipse\workspace\win32-ipc>gem install win32-ipc-0.3.1-mswin32.gem
Attempting local installation of ''win32-ipc-0.3.1-mswin32.gem''
Successfully installed win32-ipc, version 0.3.1
Installing RDoc documentation for win32-ipc-0.3.1-mswin32...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (TypeError)
    cannot convert Array into String

It does seem to install under the ruby/gems directory, though.

But, if I try to do "require ''win32/ipc''", it says
it can''t find it.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Try this:
>   s.require_path = "."
>  
>
<snip>

    s.require_path = "lib"

<snip> 

>But, if I try to do "require ''win32/ipc''", it

Forgot one more thing:

Ok, we''re getting further.

First, I thought you didn''t have to do this with gems unless you wanted
a specific version.  Second, I''m still doing something wrong.  When I
tried that I got:

irb(main):003:0> require_gem "win32-ipc"
LoadError: No such file to load -- win32/ipc
        from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in `r
equire__''
        from
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in `r
equire''
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:148:in
`activate''
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:34:in
`require_gem''
        from (irb):3

Below is the current gemspec (slightly simplified since my last post)

require "rubygems"

spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|

   s.name     = "win32-ipc"
   s.version  = "0.3.1"
   s.platform = Gem::Platform::WIN32
   s.summary  = "A base class for Win32 synchronization objects."
   
   s.files =
["ipc.so","lib/win32/ipc.c","lib/win32/ipc.h"]
   
   s.require_path = "lib"
   s.autorequire  = "win32/ipc"

   s.has_rdoc         = true
   s.extra_rdoc_files = ["README","CHANGES"]
   s.rdoc_options     = ["-S"]

   s.test_file = "test/tc_ipc.rb"

   s.author   = "Daniel J. Berger"
   s.email    = "djberg96@yahoo.com"
   s.homepage = "http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils"

end

if $0 == __FILE__
	Gem.manage_gems
	Gem::Builder.new(spec).build
end

Dan,

It works for me ...see transcript below:
