VERSION: gonzui 1.2
PLATFORM: Cygwin 1.5.21
I stumbled over 2 problems while building and installing gonzui on the Cygwin platform:
1. Build problem: Ruby library missing in RUBY_LIBS
SYNDROME: Linking of shared libraries fails.
The problems appears in many makefile that build extension libraries for Ruby.
Therefore, I patched the "configure" script to fix the problem for me, ala: RUBY_LIBS="${RUBY_LIBS} -lruby"
2. Installation problem: Shared libraries require executable permission.
SYNDROME: "gonzui-update --help" fails with LoadError in autopack.so.
Shared libs or DLLs are normally in the executable search path on the Cygwin platform.
Therefore, "make install" should use the correct permissions.
