Hi. I have questions.
Because I need to generate complex simple 3D pictures in Windows XP, I want
to use OpenGL, especially in Ruby. Please consider that I'm a complete
newbie in OpenGL.
Problem is... I cannot 'gem' ruby-opengl.
Here are two qustions.
1. What do I need to install before installing ruby-opengl?
What I did: (1) get opengl.dll, glu.dll, glut.dll from the internet and
copied them to the windows sytem32 folder.
(2) Installed ruby 1.8.6, rake, mkrf as shown in "
http://ruby-opengl.rubyforge.org/build_install.html"
2. But I cannot install ruby-opengl. Error messages are like this. (gem
version is 0.9.2)
What I did: (1) try installing ruby-opengl directly using gem
(2) raking in ruby-opengl folder.
In (1), I get, "ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
In (2), I get, undefined method 'exitstatus' for nil:NilClass
Following is the detail of the output
Thank you.
