Why Ruby stops working under cygwin

Li Chen

Hi all,

I want to call voice function using win32ole under cygwin. But Ruby
always stops working and a new window pops up the error message. I
wonder how to fix it.

Thanks,

Li

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'win32ole'
=> true
irb(main):002:0>
irb(main):003:0* v=WIN32OLE.new('SAPI.SpVoice')
=> #<WIN32OLE:0x7ffa1a0c>
irb(main):004:0> v.speak('hello')


Error message in the pop windows:
Ruby interpreter (CUI) 1.8.7.o [i386-cygwin] has stopped working.

Does Cygwin have proper sound drivers installed? Does it know how to
send the sound out?

From my experience Cygwin doens't play nice with Windows Native API.
For having Win32OLE working properly I suggest you use One-Click Ruby
Installer instead.

Hi Luis,

I also have One-Click Ruby Installer on my PC. The problem is that
timeout doesn't work under PC. So I try Cygwin and I find it works
fine.

But then Win32OLE will not work properly under Cygwin. There is always
a catch.

Here is my solution: When I use timeout library I use Ruby under cygwin.
When I use win32ole I use Ruby under vista. It is kind of weird but this
is how I let the work done.
