Re: [shoes] 1.9.1: binject.c . Almost might not suck too much

ashbb,

  Thanks for the build info. I've looked a little deeper at the Windows
requirements mentioned in your build note. Then I looked at the
plaform/msw files that do the download from hacketyhack.net - it's
hardcoded. 

The project needs a Windows C knowledgeable contributer and it won't be
me - I can't take that much pain. 

The Rakefile currently requires ruby 1.9.1 (for Windows) so we have
another catch-22 for releasing Policeman. We can't go backwards to 1.8.7
for Windows (easily) and we can't go forward to 1.9.1 until the scoping
related issues in Shoes are found and fixed and a Windows C developer
emerges.

Hi Cecil and forks,

Updated a little bit my github repo. Now can build Shoes-0.r1409 for Windows
both with Ruby 1.9.1 or 1.8.7.

http://vgoff.blogspot.com/2010/04/shoes-policeman-with-ruby-191-or-187.html

They don't execute binject well so far, though. :(

BTW. One question. I know I've not edited the plaform/msw files yet. But I
think there is no need to include Shoes, if I select "No, download Shoes if
it's absent." option on the pack.rb window.

Right?

After looking at the commit mentioned on your blog, where did you find
the definition/documentation of rb_io_stdio_file?

What script are you using to test packaging? I'll use it too and we
compare file sizes and such to see what's missing or wrong.

Correct. That my preferred option for packaging. Figuring out the URL to
use is the hard part. 

Hi Cecil,

> where did you find the definition/documentation of rb_io_stdio_file?
I just did googling and found the following:

http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1807

This is written in Japanese, but you can see this line:

   f = rb_io_stdio_file(fptr);  /* 1.8 GetReadFile */


> What script are you using to test packaging?
I'm doing:
- `shoes -p` on the console window
- select a little Shoes app file and `Windows` check box
- select `No, download Shoes if it's absent.` option
- then click `ok` button

Satoshi
