My current ruby version is 1.8.1 under cygwin , I want to upgrade it to
1.8.4.

Here is the info about the enviroment:
cygwin version 2.427
window 98
ruby - 1.8.4 source code

After run ./configure and make, I got this kind of error:

cp ../.././ext/tk/lib/tkextlib/winico/setup.rb

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

There is the one click installer for Windows... any use?

I download a one click installer for windows, ruby184-16p3.exe.
I am sorry I don't know how to install it under cygwin. I have a 1.8.1
ruby under cygwin and I want to upgrade it.

Your advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Mixing cygwin and the one click installer is a bad idea from what I've seen.

Based on your compiler errors, it seems that the compiler cannot find
the needed Windows headers to compile win32ole. You should probably
remove that from the list of extensions to compile. I can't recall off
hand how this is done, but I believe it is in the README.

I gave up compiling it and finally upgraded it from cygwin.com using its
installation tools setup.exe.

Thanks,

i don't think he wanted to mix them. i think he just wanted it working
under cygwin.

Maybe, w32api package or something was missing.
