Ruby bcc32 on win32

I am trying to compile ruby 1.7.3 using borland’s bcc32 on win32.
Where should I start ? I have seen messages on ruby-dev but they are all in
Japanese.
Any help will be highly appreciated …
TIA,

The bcc32/README.bcc32 file might help you.

Regards,
Masaki Suketa

I could not locate this file in the install dir of BCC55 …where do I get
it?

Also on ruby-dev there seems to be some involved discussion on some kind of
patch
to win32.c (see [ruby-dev:17367,17386,17436]) … but it is in Japanese.

Can someone please translate it (even a gist will do).
Thanks a lot,

This file (bcc32/README.bcc32) is in the Ruby source distribution, not
the BCC55 install directory.

Hi,

Also on ruby-dev there seems to be some involved discussion on some kind of
patch
to win32.c (see [ruby-dev:17367,17386,17436]) … but it is in Japanese.

I tried, but sorry for bad translation.

[ruby-dev:17367]
Konishi asked he could merge bcc32 patches, and Matz admitted
in [ruby-dev:17368].

[ruby-dev:17386]
In [ruby-dev:17370], Usa reported Makefile wasn’t generated by
configure.bat, and posted a patch.
Still Konishi ([ruby-dev:17371]), eban ([ruby-dev:17372]) and
Suketa ([ruby-dev:17386]) didn’t experience the issue, but they
agreed the patch didn’t make any problem.

[ruby-dev:17436]
I reported compilation failed if -tWM option was in bcc32.cfg,
because it conflicted with command line option in Makefile.
The patch is just to unify with other platform a bit, i.e., to
reduce #ifdef’s.

But of course, Doh !
Thanks Lyle, for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks nobu, and no it was not bad at all.
