Subject: [ruby-core:40467] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5492] MinGW Installation with Ruby 1.9.3rc1 Broken


Issue #5492 has been updated by Charlie Savage.


Plain vanilla build using mingw + msys (same setup I've used the last couple years).

$ ./configure --prefix=/ --enable-shared CPPFLAGS=-Ic:/MinGW/local/include LDFLAGS=-Lc:/MinGW/local/lib
$ make
$ make install DESTDIR=c:/MinGW/local/ruby193

Bug #5492: MinGW Installation with Ruby 1.9.3rc1 Broken
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5492

Author: Charlie Savage
Status: Open
Priority: High
Assignee: 
Category: build
Target version: 1.9.3
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3dev (2011-10-11 revision 33457)


This is a regression since at least the preview release, not sure about the rc1 release.  Using MinGW to make and then make install Ruby on Windows 7 now creates the following bin directory:

bin
  erb
     .bat
  gem
     .bat

etc.

Notice the file should be "erb.bat", not a "erb" sudirectory with a file called ".bat" in it.  The same is true for:

erb
gem
irb
rake
rdoc
ri
testrb

This obviously breaks the installation...so marking it high priority.
