[ANN] ByteCodeRuby 0.1.3

ruby-talk

Hi,

Its own! It’s both a compiler and an interpreter for the compiled
bytecode. ByteCodeRuby looks after everything that is bytecode-ish,
but depends on standard Ruby for parsing, the object model and the
standard Ruby API.

I downloaded the bytecoderuby package and found out that it is in source
form. A lot of packages are distributed in source form, for example, the
ruby optimizer. Since I’m using windows, not linux, and am not a hacker,
when I tried to compile it using BC++, I always got stuck, with some strange
errors.

Is the any good samaritans can help the non-hacker groups by make some
binary distribution of these interesting packages?

Thanks a lot!
Shannon

what about setting up cygwin and gcc? that’s very easy to do (seriously).

I’ll see if I can get a build done which works with the 1.6.7 download
for Windows available at rubycentral. It’ll be a good exercise to see
how well it works in that environment. I’m afraid I won’t be able to
work on it till the New Year though…

It’s also bloody useless for trying to do any real Windows
programming.

Repeat after me: cygwin is just a hack.
