* What's Ruby
|
|
|
|
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
|
|
easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to
|
|
process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
|
|
Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Features of Ruby
|
|
|
|
+ Simple Syntax
|
|
+ *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
|
|
+ *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
|
|
+ Operator Overloading
|
|
+ Exception Handling
|
|
+ Iterators and Closures
|
|
+ Garbage Collection
|
|
+ Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
|
|
+ Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms
|
|
as well as Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS etc.)

* How to get Ruby
|
|
|
|
The Ruby distribution files can be found in the following FTP site:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/
|
|
|
|
The trunk of the Ruby source tree can be checked out with the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
$ svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/ ruby
|
|
|
|
Or if you are using git then use following command:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
|
|
|
|
There are some other branches under development. Try the following
|
|
command and see the list of branches:
|
|
|
|
$ svn ls http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/branches/
|
|
|
|
Or if you are using git then use following command:
|
|
|
|
$ git ls-remote git://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
|
|
|
|
* Ruby home-page
|
|
|
|
The URL of the Ruby home-page is:
|
|
|
|
http://www.ruby-lang.org/
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Mailing list
|
|
|
|
There is a mailing list to talk about Ruby.
|
|
To subscribe this list, please send the following phrase
|
|
|
|
subscribe YourFirstName YourFamilyName
|
|
e.g.
|
|
subscribe Joseph Smith
|
|
|
|
in the mail body (not subject) to the address <ruby-talk-ctl@ruby-lang.org>.

|
* How to compile and install
|
|
|
|
This is what you need to do to compile and install Ruby:
|
|
|
|
1. If ./configure does not exist or is older than configure.in,
|
|
run autoconf to (re)generate configure.
|
|
|
|
2. Run ./configure, which will generate config.h and Makefile.
|
|
|
|
Some C compiler flags may be added by default depending on your
|
|
environment. Specify optflags=.. and warnflags=.. as necessary
|
|
to override them.
|
|
|
|
3. Edit defines.h if you need. Usually this step will not be needed.
|
|
|
|
4. Remove comment mark(#) before the module names from ext/Setup (or
|
|
add module names if not present), if you want to link modules
|
|
statically.
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to compile non static extension modules
|
|
(probably on architectures which does not allow dynamic loading),
|
|
remove comment mark from the line "#option nodynamic" in
|
|
ext/Setup.
|
|
|
|
5. Run make.
|
|
|
|
6. Optionally, run 'make check' to check whether the compiled Ruby
|
|
interpreter works well. If you see the message "check succeeded",
|
|
your ruby works as it should (hopefully).
|
|
|
|
7. Run 'make install'
|
|
|
|
This command will create following directories and install files
|
|
onto them.
|
|
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/bin
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/gems/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/man/man1
|
|
* ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/ri/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/system
|
|
|
|
If Ruby's API version is `x.y.z', the ((|${MAJOR}|)) is `x', the
|
|
((|${MINOR}|)) is `y', and the ((|${TEENY}|)) is `z'.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: teeny of the API version may be different from one of
|
|
Ruby's program version
|
|
|
|
You may have to be a super user to install ruby.
|
|
|
|
If you fail to compile ruby, please send the detailed error report with
|
|
the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
