[ruby-fltk-users] Problems installing FLTK on Windows

[Axel F. <axe...@we...>]

Hello all, 


I tried to install RUBY-FLTK for my Windows-cygwin-Ruby, but couldn't get 
around all installation problems, mainly, but not only, caused by "unix-like" 
directory/file specifications ( .,  ..). Could anybody give me help, please?



Details:

FLTK: from URL: http://ruby-fltk.sourceforge.net/. Downloaded: ruby-fltk-
0.8.2.cygwin.utf8.zip, URL: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ruby-fltk/ruby-
fltk-0.8.2.cygwin.utf8.zip.

Ruby: ruby 1.6.5 (2001-09-19) [i386-cygwin].

Windows: Win95 OSR2.

Problems:

I did run install.rb, getting the errors of following types:

1.) because of the called "unix-like" dir/file specifications:

I:\Programs\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\ruby-fltk-0.8.2\install.rb:16:in `chdir': 
No such file or directory - "./lib" (Errno::ENOENT) from I:\Programs\Ruby\lib
\ruby\site_ruby\ruby-fltk-0.8.2\install.rb:16:in `find' from I:\Programs\Ruby
\lib\ruby\site_ruby\ruby-fltk-0.8.2\install.rb:35:in `install' from I:
\Programs\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\ruby-fltk-0.8.2\install.rb:58

2.) with "require rubyfltk.so": I:\Programs\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\ruby-fltk-
0.8.2\install.rb:3:in `require': dlopen: Win32 error 1157 -./I:\Programs\Ruby
\lib\ruby\site_ruby\ruby-fltk-0.8.2\rubyfltk.so (LoadError) from I:\Programs
\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\ruby-fltk-0.8.2\install.rb:3.

I tried to modify install.rb, but couldn't fix all problems (I'm ruby-newbie).


Any help is very appreciated.
