[ruby-talk:444379] Building Ruby on Windows 10

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

I'm trying to build Ruby 3.2.2 source code on Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2019. I downloaded the source code using link https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/3.2/ruby-3.2.2.tar.gz from Download Ruby.

I'm following the steps mentioned in this (windows - Documentation for Ruby 3.3).

Following is the configuration that I'm executing from the Visual Studio 2019 Native x64 command prompt.
d:\...\ruby3.2.2> win32\configure --prefix=/usr/local --target=x64-mswin64 --disable-install-doc --with-opt-dir=C:\gitviews\opensource\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\

I get the following error. How do I make sure these packages are of the correct version and compatible with Ruby 3.2.2?

Hi Chandan,

I'm trying to build Ruby 3.2.2 source code on Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2019. I downloaded the source code using linkhttps://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/3.2/ruby-3.2.2.tar.gz fromhttps://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/.

I'm following the steps mentioned in this (windows - Documentation for Ruby 3.3).

Do you need to build with Visual Studio 2019? I think I had found that it was easier to build using the Devkit that comes with a Ruby installation. The errors imply that they need all the packages to be installed which are likely to be easier on a mingw installation... hopefully someone else has better advice for VS 2019.

Best regards,
Mohit.

Hi Mohit,

Thanks for your reply.

I need to build in VS2019/22 as I have to use the generated library (Ruby
DLL) in my C++ project for Ruby-C++ interop. I am already using Ruby 2.4.5
in this way. I'm trying to upgrade to newer version of Ruby now.

Using mingw version will not be compatible with VS compiler.

Regards,
Chandan

Hi Chandan,

I understand. We used to use a very old version of Ruby that way for something a long time back. Would love to hear about what you're doing and how :slight_smile:

Yes, that's correct indeed.

I guess the issue you're having is with this part?

Although it's not a direct match, but I'd recommend that you ask either in the RubyInstaller mailing list or maybe even on the GitHub site for it: oneclick/rubyinstaller2: MSYS2 based RubyInstaller for Windows (github.com) <https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2&gt; - there are a few people there who may be able to help.

Best regards,
Mohit.
