Exerb and a threaded server

ruby-talk
1

Ah, ok. Because of the curious interaction SIGINT and threads on
windows, the first thing I tried was killing this using the Task
Manager. However, when I did that the .rbc file was NOT generated.

I got it to work by running “ruby -r exerb/mkrbc exetest.rb” and hitting
Ctrl-C in one terminal (which doesn’t kill it), and then attempting to
make a connection in a second terminal with a throw-away client script
(which then does kill it). At that point, the .rbc file was generated,
I created a .exe and ran it successfully.

Anyway, hope that helps future Googler’s. And thanks Nathaniel.

Regards,

Dan

Any ideas?

Well, mkrbc basically just sits back and watches your program
run from start to finish, recording all the required
libraries along the way. In this, case your program sits
there waiting for connections, thus mkrbc sits there waiting
for your program. You need to do something to quit the
program, and then mkrbc should write out your recipe file.

HTH,
