Subject: [Win32utils-devel] win32-pathname in cvs
Message-ID: <429E6B1F.9080700@gmail.com>

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that I've got a working implementation of 
win32-pathname checked into CVS at the moment.  There are both C and 
pure Ruby versions, but at the moment, the pure Ruby version has a 
richer API.

This is a version of the Pathname class specially tailored for Win32 
platforms, with a few extra methods, and proper handling of paths on 
Win32, including UNC paths.

Let me know what you think.  Unless there is strenuous objection, I'll 
probably release this next week or so.

Regards,

Dan

Subject: [Win32utils-devel] Gem problem
Message-ID: <42A1D2BE.2010709@gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm trying to build some gems for the Win32Utils packages, but I'm 
having a problem.  Below is the gemspec.  Specifically, the issue seems 
to be the require_path.  If I set it to "lib", it sets the path 
properly, but installs the .so file in the wrong place - it puts it 
under lib, instead of lib/win32.  However, if I specify 'lib/win32' it 
puts it in the proper location, but then the $LOAD_PATH is wrong.

I mean, as things stand now, you could just do 'require "ipc"' and it 
would work.  However, it should be setup to work if you do 'require 
"win32/ipc"' - that's what I'm going for.  Please toy with this and see 
if you can make it work.

Thanks,

Dan

    files.delete_if{ |item| item.include?("CVS") }
    gem.files = files
end

Hi all,

I was just reading about "Kongulo" on onlamp.com, and I thought a fun
project for someone else might be a Google Desktop Search Ruby package
of some sort.

It will definitely be added, along with a couple of other things.
