Looks like I was hard coding it to /Tcl (my bad). Give 'er a shot now. ex: gem install tk_as_gem -- --with-tcl-dir=/installs/Tcl --with-tk-dir=/installs/Tcl > Also, is there anything I can do to help diagnose the hanging problem > that happens on my other computer (which does have C:\Tcl)? Typically for me this has meant I don't have tk84.dll in my path. You can make sure it is using the whichr gem, if desired. c:\dev_old>gem install os whichr c:\dev_old>whichr tk*.dll -a higher in the list is executed first e:\Tcl\bin\tk84.dll (is not executable) (it should show one) -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

It also no longer hangs for long periods of time. On my VM I didn't really have to do anything to make it work, but on my work PC I have everything stored under My Documents since I can't write to C:\. Here is what helped: 1. Upgrade to the newest RubyInstaller package (1.9.1-p378). P243 had a bug where the compilation couldn't finish because it had run out of memory (Errno::ENOMEM). Install the devkit from rubyinstaller.org, if you haven't already. 2. Run gem in a Windows command prompt (cmd) window. I never got it working under MSys. 3. Use "short filenames" (the ones with ~ in them) instead of any file/directory name with spaces. You can find out short filenames in cmd by running dir /x on their parent directories. I couldn't get paths with spaces to work. 4. For convenience, I set a shell variable TCLDIR_. It was set to C:/Docume~1/echris~1/MyDocu~1/Development/Tcl. Note that this has forward slashes instead of backslashes! Gcc doesn't understand backslashes. (The underscore is because I had another variable TCLDIR with backslashes.) 5. Use the command line: gem install --verbose tk_as_gem -- --with-tcl-dir=%TCLDIR% --with-tk-dir=%TCLDIR% I really hope this helps someone. Roger, I don't know if you'd be able to fix things so it can build with pathnames with spaces, or under MSys, but that'd be great. And thanks for the hard work of making this a gem!

I made sure devkit was installed, and gcc --version works. I'm getting the same error message. I can't seem to locate the mkmf.log file. It doesn't even seem to be created (I did a search of my entire harddrive and only found mkmf.log files for other installs I've done). As mentioned before, it worked fine on my other (32-bit) system. Would there be any 64-bit issues with tk_as_gem? --Alex -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Do you have 32 bit versions of tk and ruby installed, I assume? -rp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Ruby is working fine with my other apps, and the Active Tcl is working fine with my TK apps if I run them under Ruby 1.8.6. Ruby 1.9 is my default installation (confirmed by ruby -v). When I type gem install tk_as_gem I get: 'Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing tk_as_gem: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. C:/Ruby19/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/tk_as_gem-0.1.0 for inspection. Results logged to C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/tk_as_gem-0.1.0/gem_make.out' The contents of the gem_make.out file are just 'C:/Ruby19/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb' I do have devkit in the Ruby19 directory, along with the appropriate /bin stuff from devkit. Other gems install fine. I currently have fxruby and RMagick gems installed and they are working fine. My gem environment is 1.3.6. --Alex -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
