Description

=begin
Hi,

With ruby-1.9.1-rc1 on MinGW, when irb is launched, nothing is displayed.
In fact, everything that is entered (e.g s = "hello") is not visible (i.e. is not echoed).
But when Enter is pressed, irb outputs the result.

Note that with ruby-1.9.1-preview2 on MinGW, irb (with the completion support) works as expected.

My configuration :

  • Windows XP SP2
  • stable version of MinGW :
    • w32api-3.13
    • mingwrt-3.15.1
    • binutils-2.19
    • gcc-3.4.5
  • MSYS and MSYSDTK 1.0.10

My build process from MSYS shell :
(MinGW is installed in C:/opt/MinGW)

  • zlib-1.2.3 (zlib.net)
    ./configure --prefix=C:/opt/MinGW
    make
    make test
    make install

  • termcap-1.3.1 (www.gnu.org)
    ./configure --prefix=C:/opt/MinGW
    make
    make install

  • readline-5.2 (www.gnu.org)
    ./configure --prefix=C:/opt/MinGW --disable-shared
    make
    make install

  • ruby :
    ./configure --prefix=C:/opt/ruby19 --program-suffix=19 --with-static-linked-ext
    make
    make test
    make install
    =end
