Does anyone have said compiled extension for the prag prog
(rubyinstaller) build?

Let me know…its for a friend.

What a coincidence… I have just had 2 sleepless nights because of
compilling that. How can I help you ? Can I just send you the filez ?

(From the doc of RMagick:
If you have never installed ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick before, I
strongly encourage you to install the newest version of your choice from
source. I also strongly encourage you to read the README.txt file as
many times as is necessary for you to understand how to configure it.
ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick are large and complicated programs and
can be difficult to configure. Follow these tips to minimize the amount
of time you’ll spend and your frustration level. )

A preliminary RMagick binary with minimal install instructions can be
downloaded from this http://www.tua.ch/ruby/current.html website.

I am not him, but am interested in those files as
well. Do you mind sending them to my e-mail if the
package is below 10MBs ?

I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Kaspar,

Would you be interested in making your work available via the RMagick
project on RubyForge? I’d be more than happy to add you to the project as
a developer.

Email me offline if you have questions: cyclists AT nc DOT rr DOT com.

(Fingers crossed.)

If you could place these on rubyforge it would be very cool indeed!

please do this. RMagick is lovely, and having it on win32 too would be
wonderful.

Of course I would. [Private Mail]

If any of you guys are in a tough spot and need the library immediately,
~ please tell me so. I am looking for testers as to how distribute the
binary copy of RMagick for windows.

I would like to add the library to my Arachno Ruby distribution.
At the moment i already bundle some of the image libraries for the
FLTK toolkit that comes with my distribution.

So if you send me the makefiles or whatelse you changed i would like
to have an look at it and integrate this into our automated build
script.

Hello Lothar,

What kind of environment do you build under ? I have succeeded only with
mingw msys; I don’t know whether you will succeed with anything else.

Compiling was done in a kind of “getting this to work” frenzy, so I did
modify plenty of things, changing off_t into unsigned long and stuff
like that.

Do you succeed in compiling ImageMagick on your machine with the current
scripts ? Because that would be a kind of prerequisite… and it is the
hardest part.

Once you get there, you need a msys compiled ruby version, you replace
the calls to Magick-config with the actual output from that script in
extconf.rb (ext/RMagick) and let ruby fly with that. Then make.

This is the outline of what I have done, but you should really tell me
something about your environment before I continue to elaborate.

Also I will make a binary available shortly so we can try out if binary
distribution is an option on this library. (Maybe it only works over
here ?).

best regards,
