Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
Following the release of Ruby1.9.2-p136 source and RubyInstaller, I’ve taken time to update RailsFTW accordingly. Head on over to http://railsftw.bryanbibat.net/ for the latest installer.
Aside from updating the patch level, I’ve also taken time to figure out how to build the mysql2 gem using MariaDB instead of MySQL. Less chance of lawsuits = more fun for us.
As a bonus, here’s a screenshot of RailsFTW showing HAML, rspec, and Capybara working properly on Windows:
I hate design work.
Wait, that’s how I started my last blog post. =/
Anyway, I just came to post that I spent the past 10 hours building the mini-site for RailsFTW. There you could download the latest version of RailsFTW (v0.3) which contains the recently released Rails 3.0.3.
That site also contains lists of recommended links and downloads for people who want to use Ruby and Rails in Windows. If you have some suggestions, feel free to send them over to me.
With mysql2 now working on Windows here’s a small update to my hacked together Rails on Windows installer. I also took the opportunity to update the Rails to 3.0.1.
Also replaced the libmysql.dll with the one from MariaDB. That should probably be enough to keep the Oracle lawyers at bay…
