Bug #11837: ./miniruby.exe: No such file or directory

• Status: Closed

I get the error below when running autoconf; ./configure on a new checkout. It seems to be pretty clear that there will be no ./miniruby around at this point, so I'm not sure why it is necessary.

To others who hit this bug: It's of course possible to solve this by coping a miniruby.exe from another checkout if you are lucky enough to have one.

(but the problem shouldn't happen in the first place)
