RE: compilation ignorance

From: "Bob Calco" <robert.calco@...>
Date: 2002-05-26 16:34:38 UTC
List: ruby-talk #41186
repeater:

On windows you can compile Ruby out-of-the-box one of two ways: Using the MS
Visual C++ compiler, or using the Cygwin gcc compiler.

If you are using the cygwin distro of Ruby, any extensions that you want to
build statically into the distro should be compiled with the gcc compiler;
otherwise, if you are using an mswin32 build, you should use Visual C++.

In any case, after you create the *.c file you wish to compile, you need to
create a flexible extconf.rb file, by which I mean you need to set a few
options for the target compiler in the extconf.rb file. Something like:

require 'mkmf'

case PLATFORM
when /mswin32/
  $CFLAGS='/W3'
when /mingw/
  $CFLAGS='-DNONAMELESSUNION'
  $LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'
when /cygwin/
  $CFLAGS='-DNONAMELESSUNION'
  $LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'
end

Then if you have any external libraries or headers you want to link to
(which it sounds like you don't), then you can do the have_libary() and/or
have_header() thing. You can also have certain directories pointed to as
command line options if you suspect the user might not have a particular
library in their path.

For instance, I created a native extension to the CA COOL:Gen API, a very
low-level interface to their data-modeling and code generation tool, so that
I could script against the API in Ruby using high-level Ruby abstractions.
While the user who wants to compile this extension probably has their
COOL:Gen directory in their path, just in case they don't, I allow for them
to specify the directory at the command line using

	ruby extconf.rb --with-coolgen-dir="C:\COOL\Gen"

by merely including the line

	dir_config('coolgen')

in my extconf.rb.

My entire extconf.rb file looks like this:

-------------------
require 'mkmf'

def print_usage
  # omitted for brevity
end

case PLATFORM
when /mswin32/
  $CFLAGS='/W3'
when /mingw/
  $CFLAGS='-DNONAMELESSUNION'
  $LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'
when /cygwin/
  $CFLAGS='-DNONAMELESSUNION'
  $LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib'
end

dir_config('coolgen')

if have_library("eapi32w",nil) and have_header('eapidef.h') then
  create_makefile('coolrapi')
else
  print_usage
end

--------------------

That's it! and it works beautifully whether I'm using cygwin or mswin32 as
my distro de jour.

all I need to do is call make or nmake as follows:

(n)make all
(n)make install


I have compiled both the cygwin and the mswin32 distributions on my machine
(I named the mswin32 executable rb32 to avoid name conflicts). so if I run:

ruby extconf.rb

it will generate a cygwin-friendly makefile, whereas if I run

rb32 extconf.rb

it will generate a mswin32-friendly makefile.

Now it seems to me based on your problem that you were using the wrong
compiler options and/or make utility for the distro you are using.

If having generated my Makefile using rb32 (the mswin32 distro) I attempt to
use 'make all' instead of 'nmake all', I get:

make: ***No rule to make target 'coolrapi.obj', needed by 'coolrapi.so'.
Stop.

Which looks alot like your error. But if I use 'nmake all' it compiles just
fine.

So - in the absence of more information about your problem - I suspect you
need to set different $CFLAGS in your extconf.rb file depending on the
distro used to gen the makefile. In your case you want to be sure to set the
$CFLAGS and $LDFLAGS as illustrated above before you gen the makefile with
the cygwin distro of ruby.

I cover compiling Ruby and writing Ruby C extensions extensively in the
Sam's "Ruby Developer Handbook" that Rich Kilmer and Dana Moore and I are
working on in chapter 9, "20,000 Leagues Under the C", where I also explore
getting Ruby to compile with compilers other than cygwin and mswin (namely,
borland's free compiler). It should be out next January. :)

Sincerely,

Bob Calco
