Hi,
I was trying to build IronRuby from SVN head, but I encountered a few
problems:
1. Several times in context.rb, there are calls to String#basename and
String#dirname. These should probably be replaced by
File.basename(some_string) and File.dirname(some_string), respectively.
2. After fixing this I encountered something an issue because the paths
have been hard coded with "\" as the path separator, which doesn't work on
non-Windows systems. Since I'm not sure where all these paths are coming
from, and I don't want to break other things, I've added pathname =
pathname.gsub('\\', File::SEPARATOR) at the beginning of the method.
3. This still doesn't fix things, as the method is receiving a filename
surrounded by double quotes ("Actions\ActionSelfExpression.cs"), instead of
just the filename. I'm not sure this is to be sure you don't mess up paths
with spaces in them, but it causes trouble here. I've hacked around it by
removing the quotes before changing the separator issue, but this is
obviously a dirty hack.
4. After I did this, it turned out the path being passed resided in a
subdirectory of the current directory, instead of the current directory
itself. I'm not sure what to do about this issue. Are all the paths refering
to ./src/microsoft.scripting/actions?
Has anyone else tried running a recent version on Mono?
