From: Anonymous Date: 2008-08-04T04:06:43+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:18110] [Ruby 1.9 - Feature #403] (Open) Add support to Haiku Issue #403 has been reported by Anonymous. ---------------------------------------- Feature #403: Add support to Haiku http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/403 Author: Anonymous Status: Open Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: core Target version: Here is a patch to compile ruby 1.9 under Haiku. 3 test cases still do not run. And network support is not yet fully working. Here is the content of the patch : - more up to date config.guess et config.sub (maybe there is more recent ones in the autoconf repository) - different changes to recognize Haiku and configure ruby in autoconf scripts - some compile fix in various files - some compile fix in the socket extension I hope it will help advocate the BeOS case at the next cleaning. Pete Goodeve has already shown interest in the BeOS port too (http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/309735). The only thing missing to compile 1.9 under BeOS is the lack of a native thread implementation. There is only a partial pthread library under BeOS. I will take a look at this in the next weeks, but can't promise anything. Haiku has a better POSIX layer, an almost complete pthread implementation and is now stable enough to compile ruby directly. If we have to choose, Haiku support is probably more important than BeOS one. Olivier Coursi��re ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
