Hello,

I forgot to check in last minute bug fixes. Blame me, I'm as stupid
as I am always. :-<

Can you re-fetch the 1.8.2 distribution?

1.8.2 2004-12-25 version is the right one.

How great! Just as my Pickaxe2 came thru the chimney.

I already had a copy of Pickaxe2, but my present from "Santa" (myself)
this year was that copy of _Pragmatic Programmer_ that I've been
meaning to read.

Merry Christmas to Rubyists around the world, and thanks to _everyone
here_ for making the Ruby community the friendliest and most helpful
software community I've ever been involved with!

Merry Christmas to all !

I tried compiling this on WinXP (Home) using the free MS VC++ Toolkit 2003.

While excecuting the following command:

cl -nologo main.obj dmyext.obj array.obj bignum.obj class.obj
compar.obj dir.obj dln.obj enum.obj error.obj eval.obj file.obj
gc.obj hash.obj inits.obj io.obj marshal.obj math.obj numeric.obj

advapi32.lib wsock32.lib -Feminiruby.exe -link -incremental:no -debug
-opt:ref -opt:icf

I get these errors:

numeric.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __ftol2

I could get rid of them by adding this script to win32\win32.c:


#if (_MSC_VER >= 1300) && (WINVER < 0x0500)
//VC7 or later, building with pre-VC7 runtime libraries
extern long _ftol( double ); //defined by VC6 C libs
extern long _ftol2( double dblSource ) { return _ftol( dblSource ); }
#endif


Is this the correct way?

No. You should fail to install a runtime library or use wrong
one.

I am not sure I understand what you are suggesting here.

VC7 must have its own runtime libraries, and you have to use
them if you compile by it. Otherwise, not only ruby but also
all programs would need your patch.
