wxruby users - Sep 2009 - "msvcrt-ruby.ruby1818.dll not found" on wxruby-2.0.1 mingw32

Hi all,

Just upgraded to wxruby-2.0.1-x86-mingw32 (from 2.0.0), got an error
when starting my app.

  "The application has failed to start because msvcrt-ruby1818.dll was
not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

Uninstalled v2.0.1, the application started OK.

My env:
   ruby 1.8.6 (2009-08-04 patchlevel 383) [i386-mingw32] on Windows XP
  (from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=38052)

Cheers,
Zhimin

Strange. The dll should be in the ruby-1.8 installation (in the bin folder).
I''ll take a look at the ruby distribution you indicated.

The (Windows) environment used to build wxRuby MinGW gems is the following :
- MSYS-1.0.11
- Latest stable MinGW headers, libs, ... with gcc-3.4.5 and g++-3.4.5
- ruby-1.8 and ruby-1.9 builds with only the --prefix option.
(e.g. ./configure --prefix=C:/opt/ruby-1.8)

You can also take a look at the wxruby all in one ruby-1.9 installer.

I''ve found the problem.
For ruby-1.8, I''ve used the program-suffix option (./configure
--prefix=C:/opt/ruby-1.8 --program-suffix=18) in order to have
ruby-1.9 and ruby-1.8 usable at the same time respectively through
ruby and ruby18 executables.
The consequence is that the 18 suffix is also applied to the ruby-1.8 dll.

I''m rebuilding right now the wxRuby-2.0.1 gem for ruby-1.8 and I will
upload it.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers.
Chauk-Mean.

Hi! What I did, was:
gem uninstall wxruby
gem install wxruby-ruby19

Now the ruby started to use the *-ruby191.dll. I first installed the 
wxruby only. As a newbie I just followed the tutorials I found. But 
reading the INSTALL document from wxruby gem, pointed me to this 
direction.. And now at least samples will run.
