Yeah, the SVN thing can be ignored.
It's weird that version.h isn't being generated. Are you typing "make"
instead of "rake"?

Yes, I tried make first, then rake which posted the same errors. I did
wonder if version.h was supposed to be generated. What does that? OK,
found the task in the Rakefile; diagnostics showed that it was never
called so I moved it up near the top and tried again. This time it
generated version.h, three constants:
[...@menkalinan whyshoes]$ cat shoes/version.h
#define SHOES_RELEASE_ID 1
#define SHOES_RELEASE_NAME "Curious"
#define SHOES_REVISION
The compile failed at
shoes/ruby.c: In function ‘shoes_ruby_init’:
shoes/ruby.c:3526: error: too few arguments to function ‘rb_int2inum’
That comes down to SHOES_REVISION not having a defined value so I put a
#define SHOES_REVISION 0
after the includes. So far so good. Next problem, although the
Makefile reports /usr/lib64 as the library path the Rakefile has
/usr/lib hardcoded at several points. I hacked about for an hour or two
and finally managed to launch shoes. Maybe Mandriva does things in a
non standard manner - I am totally confused and not at all sure that my
shoes binary is complete. However it works on the face of it. Here is
a sample of my edits to the Rakefile, around line 88.
cp_r "#{ext_ruby}/lib64/ruby/1.8", "dist/ruby/lib"
cp "#{ext_ruby}/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb", "dist/ruby/lib"
cp_r "#{ext_ruby}/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems", "dist/ruby/lib"
cp_r "#{ext_ruby}/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbconfig", "dist/ruby/lib"
I am curious; why "Curious" and not "Raisins"?
Phew, I am done in for tonight.
