Hi again, I got scrAPI working on my beastie box.
It turns out the tidy I was using was from my /usr/ports directory rather than from sourceforge. I had to struggle a bit with the sourceforge tidy. My beastie box was missing a bunch of the gnu tools like libtoolize, autoconf, automake... Once I got those installed, I followed the directions attached to tidy. Eventually, I ran a make command which made a whole lot of stuff. One of those things was a .so file which was named libtidy-0.99.so.0 I copied it to /tmp/libtidy.so and copied that to the location pointed to by the Tidy.path variable. Mine looks like this: Tidy.path='/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/scrapi-1.2.0/lib/tidy/libtidy.so ' I'm not sure the best place to put the above variable. I put it in my controller but that is not a good DRY place. But, now I got scrAPI working on my beastie box and I'm feeling good. To answer my own question: How do I make .so files? ans1: use the Makefile ans2: use gcc I saw this fly by on my terminal: gcc -O2 -Wall -Wno-switch -Wno-parentheses -Wno-unused -o .libs/tidy tidy.o ../src/.libs/libtidy.so -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Dan On 10/22/06, Dan Bikle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Beastie People, I'm working with some ruby software called scrAPI. I got scrAPI working on my Mac so that's good. FreeBSD is different story. My beastie box is tripping over tidy. I think it wants a tidy.so library. When I installed scrAPI on my Mac; it came with the Mac shared library bolted on already. I'm not sure how to make a tidy.so library. On my FreeBSD box... I can make a tidy executable using the src I got from source forge. It looks like I have 2 options: -Learn how to make a tidy.so -Learn how to configure scrAPI so it uses /usr/local/bin/tidy rather than tidy.so Any tips anyone? -Dan
