unexist.dev

Hi Emmet:

1) The problem is that your gcc isn't the latest version that supports this option without optimization. A simple fix is to remove the '-Wuninitialized' from the cflags in the Rakefile on line 39. I probably should remove this from the official build to buypass this kind of problems.

2) Actually I don't use debian/ubuntu by myself, I installed Debian yesterday and started building a deb package, but I am not done yet. Making packages isn't so straight forward and I would be thankful for any help.

Hi Christoph.
I have done as you mentioned, but got another error:

I have ruby ruby 1.9.1:

ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i686-linux]

Hm, really odd: You're lacking a ruby.h in the sitelibdir path, do you remember your configure flags when you installed ruby by yourself? And can you please check if there's really no ruby.h in /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/subtle?

I digged into it and the problem is that in ruby 1.9 the header are on a different location. They finally moved them to /usr/include - I updated the rakefile but I am not done with the API changes yet. Therefore no commit of this stuff at all. Hopefully I get this done tomorrow.

Hi Christoph
Sorry , I havent answered for some time, was really busy those days.
Please let me know when you will do the commit. I am really looking forward to see subtle wm on my machine!

Hi Emmet,

no problem at all. Today I commited the fixes (revision 1221) for ruby 1.9 and tested it with 1.9.0 on a freshly installed debian VM. Looks good so far, during my tests I couldn't find any problems. Can you try this version and report me any problems? Would be nice if you join us on #subtle too like you already did if I remember correctly. ;)

What still needs to be checked is ruby 1.9 on 64bit - maybe I have time for this tomorrow.

Hi Christoph, :)
again got some time to try to install subtle on ubuntu.
Still got an error:

PS
I have already created a nickname in IRSS, as i have time i will visit it ;)

just for the info , here is my gcc:

Hi Emmet,
man this is really complicated on Debian - maybe we will soon get this done. ;)

Do you have the ruby-dev package installed? You need it to compile and link subtle against the ruby lib. I am fetching the correct SO_NAME from the mkmf config so this shouldn't be a problem, but this gives me heachache:

Can you please do this and post me the output?

@
require "mkmf"

CONFIG["RUBY_SO_NAME"]@

I tested this in a VM with Debian and Ruby 1.9 and the expected result is this: => "ruby1.9"

hi Christoph,
I have managed to install subtle on ubuntu today (on both my home laptop and my work desktop). I needed to completely remove ruby1.9 for that and use ruby1.8 as somehow ruby-dev extentions for ruby1.8 were not visible. Will try to play with the configs and will let you know the results.
