* What's Ruby
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
|
|||
|
|
easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
|
|||
|
|
process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
|
|||
|
|
perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
|
|||

* How to get ruby
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
** by ftp
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The ruby distribution can be found on
|

* How to compile and install
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is what you need to do to compile and install ruby:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Run ./configure, which will generate config.h and Makefile.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. Edit defines.h if you need. Probably this step will not need.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. Remove comment mark(#) before the module names from ext/Setup, if
|
|||
|
|
you want to link modules statically.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you want to link all the extension modules, remove comment
|
|||
|
|
mark from the line "#option nodynamic".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. Run make.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5. Optionally, run 'make test' to check that the compiled ruby
|
|||
|
|
interpreter works well. If you see the message "test succeeded",
|
|||
|
|
your ruby works as it should.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6. Run 'make install'
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you fail to compile ruby, please send the detailed error report with
|
|||
|
|
the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
