Make rb-gsl V2.1 work on Windows? #36

Open i2000s opened 8 years ago

i2000s commented 8 years ago

I tried to install rb-gsl on Windows 10, but it always fails. I have gsl compiled from source using MinGW and gcc 4.7. When I run gem install gsl, I always get

D:\Base\Programming>gem install gsl Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit... Building native extensions. This could take a while...

In the error file, it seems lgsl and lgslcblash are missing. Not sure if gsl is supposed to run in Windows or not. I am using Ruby 2.3 for this build, BTW.

I can't find the exact line where the extconf is failing. Could you check and let me know? And yes it's supposed to run on Windows.

v0dro commented 8 years ago

Are you sure you've installed gsl in the paths where it can be found during the gem compilation?

i2000s commented 8 years ago

What I did to ensure the correct path was added to the search variable is the following. This may be the major concern, and I appreciate if you can help me confirm all operations are correct.

1) Compile GSL using both MinGW downloaded directly from the MinGW project website. Then compile it again using the MinGW (MSYS.bat) installed on RubyDevKit. All processed without any error. Should they add the path to the $PATH directly?

2) Add the gsl-2.1 folder where the source code of gsl was stored and compiled from step 1 to the computer environment variable, Path. Should I add another path? Where the compilation of the GSL ended up for the installation?

3) Tried use gem install gsl and gem install rb-gsl in the GSL source directory and a directory where a Jekyll website was stored. I also tried downloading the rb-gsl-2.1.0.1.gem file and do the install using the command lines in MinGW and cmd prompt on Windows 10. Nothing worked. Note that I followed this instruction to install Ruby using Chocolatey.

I don't know how to identify which line gave the error. The error message is the only information I got from this installation process. The installation works on my Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks.

@minad know any windows users who can help out here? I'm not very familiar with MINGW and don't have access to a Windows machine.

Also not a windows user :)

mr-dxdy commented 7 years ago

@i2000s, it works on windows 7. I think that windows 10 supports too.

  1. Download gsl-2.2.1 from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/
  2. Install patch from https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/blob/master/main/gsl/dont-disable-deprecated.patch
  3. Run MSYS.bat from C:\RailsInstaller\DevKit
  4. Go to gsl-2.2.1
  5. ./configure
  6. make
  7. make install
  8. Add lines to C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.1.0\setup_environment.bat :
SET PATH=%RUBY_DIR%\devkit\local\include\gsl;%PATH%
SET PATH=%RUBY_DIR%\devkit\local\lib;%PATH%
SET PATH=%RUBY_DIR%\devkit\local\bin;%PATH%
  1. Run setup_environment.bat:
  2. gem install gsl
i2000s commented 7 years ago

Hi @mr-dxdy ,

Thank you for the followup. It has been a long time ago last time I tried the installation, my computer may have been changing a lot during the past half a year. I followed your steps, and the trick of the patch seems to help this installation process up to step 7, although my computer is extremely slow on MinGW and the ./configure, make and make install process took two days to finish.

I couldn't go to set up the PATH following your instruction, as I don't have the setup_environment.bat file on my computer. So, I skipped it. Instead, I add the DevKit paths to the Windows PATH manually. When I run the last step, I got

$ gem install gsl

Don't worry if you don't know what's the problem. I have been using BashOnUbuntuOnWindows nowadays on Windows 10. It works there.

Thanks!

mr-dxdy commented 7 years ago

two days to finish of compiling? It is very long. GNU make supports parallel execution:

make -j N, where N - number of threads

I use setup_environment.bat from project Railsinstall.

After command "Make install" you should find installed files:

C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\include\gsl\*.h

C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\lib\gsl\libgsl.a
C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\lib\gsl\libgsl.la
C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\lib\gsl\libgsl.dll.la
C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\lib\gsl\libgslcblas.a
.........
C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\lib\gsl\libgslcblas.dll.a

C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\bin\libgsl.dll
C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\bin\gsl-config
C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\bin\libgslcblas-0.dll

Add paths of installed files to PATH of Windows:

SET PATH=C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\include\gsl;%PATH%
SET PATH=C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\lib;%PATH%
SET PATH=C:\tools\ruby23\devkit\local\bin;%PATH%

@mr-dxdy Yeah, my computer has been weird since I reinstalled Ruby 2.3.3 and MinGW-64 a couple of days ago. I haven't seen any line of display in the compiling process taking less than 3 mins, not to mention my computer has 64GB memory and 8 threads.

Back to the issue, my RubyDevKit was not installed under the C:\tools\ruby23 folder, instead, it is under D:\Base\Programming\RubyDevKit. So, what I just did is put the following into a devkitvars.bat file:

SET PATH=%RI_DEVKIT%local\include\gsl;%PATH%
SET PATH=%RI_DEVKIT%local\lib;%PATH%
SET PATH=%RI_DEVKIT%local\bin;%PATH%

Ran it, and then in a MinGW terminal, I run

gem install gsl

I have been waiting it for more than 30mins, nothing happened there. I will report back if anything spills out by tomorrow. This thing has randomized my sleeping pattern :(

Here's what happened to me when trying to install it with Ruby 2.4 and RubyInstaller2. I was able to successfully compile GSL with ridk enabled, but installing the actual gem didn't work.
