Windows Installer for FreeRIDE 0.9.5 and a bug

[Curt Hibbs-2]

I built the windows installer for 0.9.5. You can download it here to test it:

  http://curthibbs.us/freeride-win-installer-0.9.5.exe

I have one bug to report (as Murphy's Law would have it, the very first thing I did invoked this bug and crashed FreeRIDE). I created a new project and added a new source directory and FreeRIDE crashes with this error:

C:\Program Files\FreeRIDE>freeruby-win\bin\ruby.exe -rubygems freeride.rb
C:/Program Files/FreeRIDE/./plugins/rubyide_tools_source_parser/simple_parser.rb
:147: [BUG] cannot convert system ID to string: 337
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]


This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I'm sure this is because its choking on one of the ruby files, because it doesn't happen when I add other directories. The directory I was adding was the Ruby distribution ruby-mswin32 which you can download here:

   ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.4-i386-mswin32.zip

Normally, I look into this myself, but I've got to spend my available time getting the 1.8.4 version of the One-Click Installer done.

Curt,

Sorry about that one but I already knew that it failed on parsing the Ruby sources. It has to do with Ripper, I tried to compile a newer version of Ripper two or three weeks ago and integrating it but that unfortunately failed... I sent an email to Minero Aoki the author of Ripper asking for help, but I didn't get a response.

Anyways, I tried to compile the version accessible through Minero Aoki's own cvs as well as the current Ripper in the Ruby1.9 cvs. Of course in both cases I updated the file parser.y to the installed Ruby version (1.8.3). In both cases I couldn't get it to work :(

Maybe we should mention this (temporary) shortcoming in the documentation?

Jonathan.

Curt,

After an incredible week (thanks to Murphy) I finally found the time to update the docs. I added a small description of the project-support to the UserDoc (both the wiki and cvs). I also added an entry to the FAQs-page concerning adding the Ruby-distro directory as a project-directory.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to test the windows-installer, I've just been too busy this last week. Having an hour or so left in my schedule today, I wanted to test it...guess what....the system would no longer boot! After last week I shouldn't be surprised...at least my Linux-desktop is still running.

Ok, maybe we should add something to FAQ page on the wiki.
