Bug #2482: Building ruby fails on Windows XP

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: -
• ruby -v: n/a

[TimWalters (Tim Walters)]

=begin
--get latest Ruby via svn
--configure.bat
--nmake

nmake tries to execute a line beginning with -I instead of an executable, and throws the error:

'-I.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

The problem line is:

-I./.. ./../tool/compile_prelude.rb ./../prelude.rb miniprelude.c
=end

• Status changed from Open to Rejected

=begin
see win32/README.win32.

(3) If you want to build from SVN source, following commands are required.
* bison
* sed
* ruby 1.8

Executable ruby.exe is necessary for you.
Moreover, it is necessary to set PATH for it.
