I was bored, so I tried...
the ready to use ruby doesn't have either a mkfile or a Makefile, so
1) I downloaded the latest ruby realease run /n/sources/contrib/fgb/rc/config
and sent the output to rc; I got my config.h and Makefile, then % echo make |
ape/psh
but it didn't end there, ruby building process is broken it expects to find
files in the current
dir which they aren't.
thinking that this might had been solved in the cvs I
2) downloaded the latest stable cvs snapshot, same problem, this time I just
edited
the Makefile by hand, the thing is that to make the extensions a miniruby
creates
the other Makefile's, which end up broken too!
so, I fixed every Makefile by haand and started to compile it
what were the changes?
1) APE doesn't have fchown()
2) lot's of casts (char *) != (unsigned char *)
3) the bignum extension divides by 0, it has something like "One()/Zero()"!
here the fn() that initializes the extensions, just for you to know
which ones are in my ruby
void Init_ext _((void))
{
init(Init_bigdecimal, "bigdecimal.so");
init(Init_curses, "curses.so");
init(Init_digest, "digest.so");
init(Init_bubblebabble, "digest/bubblebabble.so");
init(Init_md5, "digest/md5.so");
init(Init_rmd160, "digest/rmd160.so");
init(Init_sha1, "digest/sha1.so");
init(Init_sha2, "digest/sha2.so");
init(Init_enumerator, "enumerator.so");
init(Init_etc, "etc.so");
init(Init_fcntl, "fcntl.so");
init(Init_wait, "io/wait.so");
init(Init_nkf, "nkf.so");
init(Init_openssl, "openssl.so");
init(Init_pty, "pty.so");
init(Init_cparse, "racc/cparse.so");
init(Init_sdbm, "sdbm.so");
init(Init_stringio, "stringio.so");
init(Init_strscan, "strscan.so");
init(Init_syck, "syck.so");
init(Init_thread, "thread.so");
init(Init_zlib, "zlib.so");
}
I'll clean it up, create some nice mkfiles and put it in my contrib
oh, btw, I won't send a diff to the author saying "dude, char * isn't the same
as unsigned char *!"

PS: yes, I know it's confusing

/bin/fortune:
The problem is not getting ksh to execute any particular command, the problem
is recognizing that there might be a problem.
