[ANN] One-Click Ruby Installer 182-15 for Windows

Curt Hibbs

4/26/2005 11:13:00 AM

I had hope to simultaneously release installers
for an updated version of Ruby 1.8.2 stable *and*
the new 1.8.3 preview1, but there appears to be some
delay for Matz in releasing 1.8.3 preview1. So I am
releasing the updated stable version now.

This release of the One-Click Ruby Installer for
Windows is built from Ruby 1.8.2 final. It mostly
upgrades included extensions and applications to
their most recent versions.

There is one notable addition: fxri 0.3.2.
Be sure to try it (if you use FreeRIDE, fxri
is also embedded into FreeRIDE) because it is
wonderfully addictive! fxri combines a nice
interactive search interface to the Ruby docu-
mentation along with an interactive ruby
session (irb) -- all wrapped up in a nice GUI
shell.

Changes Since 1.8.2-14 Final:
- Added fxri 0.3.2
- Updated FXRuby 1.2.6
- Updated FreeRIDE to 0.9.4
- Updated RubyGems to 0.8.10
- Created start menu shortcuts for RubyGems gem_server
and viewing the RDoc for installed gems.
- Included new build of readline 4.3.2
(I hope this fixes readline problems)
- Included user-submitted irb patch
- Included ruby/misc/ruby-electric.el from Ruby 1.9
- Included TestUnit patch needed by Rails

Enjoy!
Curt

Just thought i'd let you know that installing this package doesn't
seem to have added C:\RUBY\BIN to the path or setup the PATHEXT entry
for executing .rb and .rbw files. If I remember correctly the
1.8.2-14 package did do this.

I installed by first uninstalling the 1.8.2-14 package (which deleted
my C:\RUBY directory) and then running the new installer. I'm using
Windows XP-SP1.

Regards,

Matt

This one is gong to drive me crazy! This happened to a handful of people
with 1.8.2-14, but the vast majority had no problem.

Does it help if you reboot after installation?

My longterm goal is to replace actually including more extensions with a
nice integrated GUI interface for browsing and installing RubyGems
packaged extensions. SQLite would probably fit into that category.

Yes, more puzzling still since I'm one of the ones for whom it worked
with 1.8.2-14.

No, sadly I had tried that before posting.

Which compiler is used to produce this version?
VC 6, 7, 7.1?

Thanks

Yay! Thanks a lot :D

It no longer crashes when I start irb and press tab twice.

It apparently didn't fix the locale problem though. It is still
impossible[*] to type []}{ etc and typing äöå exits irb. No error
message or anything, just a prompt.

[*] Outside emacs-shell that is. Yes, I know that it possible to fix
with a .irbrc, however, it isn't something that a user should ever
have to care about.

Ok, I downloaded the installer .exe file. I double-clicked the file to
launch it. I clicked Next to continue, then I clicked "I Agree" at the
Licence Agreement screen. Then I clicked Next at the Choose Components
screen, and Install at the Choose Install Location screen. Finally,
after it finished installing, I clicked Finish to exit the installer.

So my question is, which of these seven clicks is the actual "one
click"? :-P

You only need one click to do the installation - after you finished
the setup correctly. It's the same on unix. Install with a single
keystroke (after you typed "./configure ; make ; sudo make install" on
the same command line) :-P

Just choose your words with wisdom (and a lawyer in the background).
