I am currently working on Release 26 which uses Ruby p110. I could use some help, as my available time is limited, if you wanted to pitch in. I'm actually pretty close to finished except that I'm having trouble getting the Ruby ODBC to compile.
<br><br>If you checkout the installer from RubyForge (instructions are here: <a href="http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=167">http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=167</a>), the complete build instructions are in the ReadMe.html
file (you want to check out from "/trunk/installer-win2"), but you have to use either VC++ 6.0 SP5 or MinGW (newer versions of VC++ have binary compatibility problems).<br><br>Curt<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Folk,<br><br>I'm using the current one-click installer on Windows XP, and ruby -v<br>claims<br>to be patch-level -p0. This version has totally broken thread<br>synchronisation<br>primitives, and that leaves me dead in the water. Sylvain Joyeux told me
<br>in ruby-talk that p36 and p110 are much better, so...<br><br>I can either build a current Ruby from source, or build the whole one-<br>click<br>installer from source. I have MSVC and I'm quite familiar with<br>building on

<br><br>What else do I need installed - are you using WiX or something else?<br><br>Clifford Heath<br>_______________________________________________<br>Rubyinstaller-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Rubyinstaller-devel@rubyforge.org">
