Some pointers on how to (cross?) compile this code? #5

Closed rdvdijk closed 12 years ago

rdvdijk commented 12 years ago

Hi warhammerkid,

I am trying to run the rake gems command, which apparently cross-compiles all the code. I installed MinGW for OS X.

This fails on OS X, because the FLAC headers cannot be found (but are installed on my machine using homebrew) when compiling libsndfile. Here is the first line with an error from tmp/i386-mingw32/ports/libsndfile/1.0.24/compile.log.

    CC     flac.lo
    flac.c:34:33: error: FLAC/stream_decoder.h: No such file or directory

Can you give some pointers how to build this project? Should I just ignore the Rakefile altogether if I want to build it for my own system?

Thanks, Roel

I didn't have the flac libraries installed on my system and it worked just fine, so it's probably finding them when it shouldn't and trying to compile the flac support. That said, as long as you don't need to support Windows with the gems you generate, you don't need to worry about the cross compiling. Just run rake gem rather than rake gems.

Ah thanks, that works just fine. I still need a MinGW environment to run any rake task, by the way.
