Ruby DB2 on Win32
It turns out that the hardest part about porting Ruby DB2 from Unbuntu to Windows was getting a compilation environment set up. These instructions contained the key.
Additionally, it appears that the
tests
I based this port on have been updated, but resynching is a problem
for another day. Reverting the tests back to the beginning of
the year is a simple matter of executing the following in the
pecl/ibm_db2/tests directory:
cvs update -D 2006/01/01
Once that was out of the way, the changes were rather mundane:
-ldb2=> db2cli.libmake=> nmake.so=> .dllopen(foo)=> open(foo,'rb')\r\n=> \n
The result works on both Ubuntu and Windows XP.
I was going to post about YAML requiring two spaces for indentation, but I glanced at the spec and I seem to be wrong. Learn something new everyday...
