Comment on Mysql C bindings for Ruby 1.9 by Dawid Marcin Grzesiak

Dawid Marcin Grzesiak — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:52:38 +0000

What helps me was editing “/usr/include/ruby-1.9.0/ruby/ruby.h” (in your case the file is in “/usr/local/include/ruby-1.9.0″ dir) file and replacing the RString struct with this code:

struct RString {
struct RBasic basic;
union {
union {
struct {
long len;
char *ptr;
union {
long capa;
VALUE shared;
} aux;
} heap;
char ary[RSTRING_EMBED_LEN_MAX];
} as;

struct {
long len;
char *ptr;
union {
long capa;
VALUE shared;
} aux;
};
};
};

I’ve created empty file “version.h” in the “/usr/include/ruby-1.9.0″ dir.

Then I’ve just run “sudo gem1.9 install dbd-mysql” and everything compiled smooth.

Cheers,
Dawid

Comment on Making Ruby Bacon play with Mocha by Rich

The above script could be improved slightly: as it stands, any mocha errors won’t cause the Bacon test to fail; they’ll just dump the errors to stdout.

You could refactor it to the following, which avoids this issue:

class Bacon::Context
include Mocha::Standalone
def it_with_mocha description
it_without_mocha description do
mocha_setup
yield
mocha_verify
mocha_teardown
end
end
alias_method_chain :it, :mocha
end

Thanks very much.

You should try and get this merged into Mocha

[...] the worker control code now is totally changed, and the Worker class itself needs to inherit from BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker now. Having taken care of these and a few other cleanups, we seem to be running with a much smaller [...]

Really Important is to REMOVE THE OLD FILES GENERATED FROM backgroundrb:setup!
This saved my day (and night probably too).

Thanks for sharing,

Have a nice day!

I agree there should be a mailing list for asking questions and answering them as I didn’t know there was an update to my question till today.

I vote for using Google Groups.

PS: Thanks Hemant for the update. I give it a go over the next week.
