rake aborted #67

Closed untemperedschism closed 11 years ago

untemperedschism commented 11 years ago

i haven't been able to build the most recent version of ruby processing. i get a rake aborted message after the rakefile attempts to run rp5_test.rb

monkstone commented 11 years ago

The gem builds first (so it has probably built?) anyway you could comment out the first line of rp5_test.rb (to use built in minitest instead of a gem installed version, which I guess you don't have).

untemperedschism commented 11 years ago

thanks monkstone.

installed minitest, but the test still fails. i have tried installing with ruby 1.9.3 and 2.0.0 the test fails immediately under 2.0.0 1.9.3 it runs, with one failure and i get this message Rp5Test#test_opengl_version [test/rp5_test.rb:112]: Graphics capability 2.1 APPLE-7.32.12 may be sub-optimal

it is a less than 3 year old macbook pro running mac os x 10.7.5 not the latest and greatest by any means, but should be sufficient for this.

monkstone commented 11 years ago

Well that is not a fatal negative it just means that opengl perfomance may be sub-optimal. Ideally for processing-2.0 require 3.0+ compliant graphics driver/card. The rake install will run regardless of test results, all Java2D sketches should run just fine, but some opengl sketches may not. If you haven't already installed vanilla processing, you may do so using the Mac version that sits in the vendors folder, see how you get on. Also read the CHANGELOG file, even brand new netbooks have been found wanting c'est la vie. But with any luck you should be OK.

Just re-read that fails installing with 2.0 thats new works OK for me on Archlinux with 2.0.0, and JRuby(1.9.3).

untemperedschism commented 11 years ago

thanks again monkstone

installed on my slightly newer/more powerful laptop running ubuntu this morning with no problems. and reinstalled on mac with same results under 1.9.3 and 2.0.0 just now.

If your happy I guess we can close this, be interesting to see any difference in performance between two systems.

untemperedschism commented 11 years ago

if i do any sort of performance comparison, i will send the data your way.
