We need to dump sqlite3 dll into windows/system32?

By: Sunil Kelkar

Sunil Kelkar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 08:08:57 +0000

To install the database driver that allows DataMapper to connect to sqlite3 (I have this installed), i typed the following on my Windows XP box that uses Ruby 1.8.6 and gem version 1.3.1 -
c:\> gem install do_sqlite3

However, this failed with the following message -
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing do_sqlite3:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

e:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb install do_sqlite3
checking for sqlite3.h… no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

What am I doing wrong?

@TiM we are going to re release the do_drivers with the help of a real windows/ruby expert

@Ian yeah we are working on deploying all the merb gems, merb-auth should be available soon. Thanks for the heads up.

It appears that you are working on RC3 at the moment, as doing gem install merb tries to install 0.9.11. This is currently failing, as merb-more requires merb-auth-core 0.9.11, but merb-auth-core is stuck at 0.9.10. I hope this is going to be rectified shortly. I like merb and appreciate all of your work on it, and I look forward to being able to gem update merb and have it work again.

WIndoze users, refer to this thread (specifically the do_sqlite3 gem) if you have trouble with the following msg:

checking for sqlite3.h… no

Good news, not so good results.

After cloning, tried to run own specs of merb-core and they use fork() …

How I’m supposed to dig and catch the other issues around Merb and cross platform if cannot run the own specs?

@matt: Work to phase out Visual C build is under works, but need more attention

Been working on make Thor works on Windows, let’s see if that gets merged.
