Hi folks There's already an existing version of Ruby for CE/ARM, but you need MS EMVC++ and the Windows Mobile SDK to build... I've tried all combinations and just couldn't get the thing to build... and it seems all existing binaries have a string handling problem (google: ruby wince wince::strerror).
Anyway, last week I took a look a your CEGCC project (latest 0.51 release) and thought I'd have a go of compiling Ruby (latest stable 1.8.6-p111) the good old fashioned Unix way. I've surprised myself and despite *some* work needed (a few local declarations that were also present in the CEGCC system headers, plus changing several 'forks' to 'vfork' along with an 'execl' to 'execv') I've actually managed to get a working Ruby interpreter! I'm now trying to tie up a few loose ends, and one thing I couldn't sort out was an error when trying to build the socket extensions for Ruby - one the functions that they use is h_errno; the code compiles cleanly, but when it comes to linking the final binary it falls over with an undefined reference to "__h_errno_location". I can't find this symbol anywhere. This is unfortunate as without the socket extension we can't run any of the web based stuff that makes Ruby, or at least Ruby on Rails, so neat. Would anyone be willing to take a look at how I've gone about this and see if we can figure out the last part of the puzzle? I've documented what I've found, and all of the compile errors here: http://www.target-earth.net/gadgets/ .. as I say, it seems to be all working except this one remaining issue. Thanks in advance for any help or info you can give me -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
