Subject: [ruby-core:28217] [Bug #2750] build fails on win32/MinGW: "executable host ruby is required." even when --with-baseruby is used

Issue #2750 has been updated by Christian Bodt.


Hi Luis,

Thanks for your help,
Could you tell me if I understood correctly what 'windows path' you mean? I am using msys+mingw and the standard bash shell to compile.

Folling your advice, I tried running the command (as in configue.in line 22) :
"RUBYOPT=- 'c:\Programs\ruby-1.9\bin\ruby.exe' -e 'p 42'"

It fails in the same way as before (c:\Programs\ruby-1.9\bin\ruby.exe: invalid switch in RUBYOPT: -C (RuntimeError)).

The following fails also:
> export RUBYOPT=-
> ruby.exe -e 'p 42' 
c:\Programs\ruby-1.9\bin\ruby.exe: invalid switch in RUBYOPT: -C (RuntimeError)

Using the windows "cmd.exe" shell, the - option seems to be accepted:
>set RUBYOPT=-
>ruby.exe -e 'p 42'
42

I think I will try RubyInstaller :) It sound quite simple.

Thanks a lot,
Christian
