win32utils devel - Sep 2009 - I wish I could comment on Daniels posts

Hello Guys,

Me again in reply to Daniel''s post:

http://djberg96.livejournal.com/169067.html

Since LiveJournal really sucks, I cannot simply register for
comment... no, it creates a whole LiveJournal account that I don''t
plan on use.

Also, no OpenID.

Anyway, to comment: Did you tried rake-compiler?

http://github.com/luislavena/rake-compiler

Basically it allow Gem specification playing so you can do this:

rake compile

to build the extensions

rake native gem

to package both ''ruby'' source gem and
''native'' to your platform.

It also opens the possibility to cross compilation (I guess not useful
for win32utils project) but it is for MinGW powered Ruby.

Anyhow, wanted to chime in :-)

I know, could be shameless self promotion, but perhaps is helpful, dunno.

Cheers,

LJ says it supports OpenID:

Thanks, I really do need to take a look at rake-compiler. :)

Hm, I wonder if I have to explicitly enable it. Let me poke around a bit.

Yes, but is not turned on or there is no way to select it... so cannot
comment :-P
(it just show empty parenthesis, no way to select it)

Alright, I''ve changed the settings so that anyone can post (not just 
registered users), though comments from non-registered users will still 
have to be screened. I guess LJ still treats OpenID users as 
"anonymous". I didn''t see a way to explicitly allow OpenID
users, though.

Dan

Thank you Daniel,

LJ indeed treat OpenID as anonymous... Now I see the option for
OpenID, which will be screened
