Troubles, installing rake

ruby-talk
1

Hi !

I use Ruby 1.6.8 on WinXP.
Now, I got rake-0[1].5.4.zip and extracted it to C:\Program
Files\Ruby\rake-0.5.4

Trying to install it ..

cd C:\Program Files\Ruby\rake-0.5.4
ruby install.rb

.... I got following error:
mkdir c:/program files/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/rake
install.rb:77: undefined method `each' for 0:Fixnum (NameError)

What I'm doing wrong ?

Rake requires Ruby 1.8.0 or later. You can download the latest
OneClick Installer from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167

(BTW: Darf ich wissen in welchem Siemens-Werk du arbeitest?)

Hi !

Thanks for answering quickly.
But, alas, for some reasons I'm bound to 1.6.8.

Is there any workaround possible ?

Hmm, depends on wether you have to run existing Rakefiles or
you need to write a new one. If you intend to write new buildfiles
try to use Rant, which is very similar to Rake.

I've just managed to get a limited version of Rant running
with Ruby 1.6.8. You can download it from
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=615&release_id=2506
(the last entry, the script make.rb under Rant for Ruby 1.6.8).

For general Rant documentation visit http://make.ruby-co.de

From the release notes of Rant for Ruby 1.6.8:
"
This is a special monolithic Rant script created for users which
can't upgrade their Ruby installation to a version newer
than Ruby 1.6.8.

Just copy the file make.rb into the project directory
(the same in which your Rantfile lies).

To run your Rantfiles type:
  % ruby make.rb [options] [arguments]
instead of the usual:
  % rant [options] [arguments]

This script (make.rb) has the following imports inlined
(may work, but not tested):
  * subfile
  * clean
  * directedrule
  * rubytest
  * rubydoc
  * c/dependencies
  * win32/rubycmdwrapper
"

HTH,
  Stefan
