How does one recompile the Windows DLLs from source? “mvn” doesn’t do
it, nor can I conjure a rake command. There is no corresponding C++
source, the string “.dll” doesn’t seem to appear in makefiles, pom.xmls,
etc. I am desperate to get this done for a project and would appreciate
any pointers! The files are:
~\bin\jruby.dll
~\lib\jni\i386-Windows\jffi-1.2.dll
~\lib\jni\x86_64-Windows\jffi-1.2.dll
~\maven\jruby-stdlib\target\classes\META-INF\jruby.home\bin\jruby.dll
~\spec\ruby\fixtures\code\load_fixture.dll
~\spec\ruby\fixtures\code\load_fixture.ext.dll
Thanks!
rcs
just some pointers (no windows knowledge on my side):
~\lib\jni\i386-Windows\jffi-1.2.dll
~\lib\jni\x86_64-Windows\jffi-1.2.dll
are coming from that project
and are extracted at the above location during the jruby build
~\maven\jruby-stdlib\target\classes\META-INF\jruby.home\bin\jruby.dll
that is a build file as which gets copied during the build from
~\bin\jruby.dll
Thanks again Christian, this was also very helpful!
Now if I could just figure out how to build the jruby.dll from scratch
instead of just copying the file I could get back to doing the work.

Thanks Tom. What is the best way to build the jruby-launcher
standalone? Nothing I do seems to generate jruby.dll. Would it be
worth trying to set up a Netbeans environment instead? I am also
concerned my MinGW setup is slightly off (everything runs, I can rebuild
jruby.exe that works, but nothing generates jruby.dll).

Yeah sorry this has been rough. We have not for quite a while had a
regular committer who is using Windows and as a result things like
Makefiles seem to break over time…

Thanks, Tom. Once I quit trying to make maven do my bidding and focus
on just jruby-launcher I got it built.
In short, from a MinGW MSYS.BAT shell using ruby-launcher 1.0.19 simply
(1) comment out the redundant definition in jruby.cpp that throws a
compile error and (2) comment out the unused variable in utilsfuncs.cpp
that throws a warning, and then say “make” and voila – everything
builds fine, and seems to work fine with JRuby 1.7.11.
I still need to look into appropriate tests and the bug submission
protocol, but that is all it took.
As Christian noted, the other DLLs are from other projects. Since the
other DLLs don’t concern my immediate task, I will ignore those for the
moment.
