jruby/rawr exe bundling headbanging with windows xp.
Since I could find nothing on this online, some notes in case it helps anyone.
On Windows XP SP3
jruby 1.5.5
rawr 1.4.5
I was trying to do this:
jruby -S rake rawr:bundle:exe
I kept getting this error:
** Invoke rawr:bundle:exe (first_time)
** Invoke rawr:jar (first_time)
** Invoke package/jar/sersol_delete_url_check.jar (first_time, not_needed)

I poked around in exe_bundler.rb and made it put file_dir_name, the part of file_dir_name split out for use in output, and output to the screen:
FILE DIR NAME: c:/jruby-1.5.5/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rawr-1.4.5/lib
SPLIT NAME: c
OUTPUT: Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I’m on my work computer so I don’t have full admin permissions, but I can run this fine in the cmd window myself:
fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo c:\
Anyway, all of that is leading up to finding out whether my file system is FAT32 or NTFS, so it can do:
if 'NTFS' == output.split("\n")[3].split(':')[1].strip
sh "echo y | cacls \"#{file_dir_name}/launch4j/bin-win/windres.exe\" /G \"#{ENV['USERNAME']}\":F"
sh "echo y | cacls \"#{file_dir_name}/launch4j/bin-win/ld.exe\" /G \"#{ENV['USERNAME']}\":F"
end
I know it is NTFS, so I just commented out the if block lines:
#if 'NTFS' == output.split("\n")[3].split(':')[1].strip
sh "echo y | cacls \"#{file_dir_name}/launch4j/bin-win/windres.exe\" /G \"#{ENV['USERNAME']}\":F"
sh "echo y | cacls \"#{file_dir_name}/launch4j/bin-win/ld.exe\" /G \"#{ENV['USERNAME']}\":F"
#end
That’s hideous, but hey, the next run of rawr:bundle:exe worked with no errors, successfully creating my exe.
Of course, now that I have an exe, I have found that it appears to do nothing, regardless of how I run it. But figuring that out is for another day, because I must get ready to leave work.
we don’t need no rule of three.

Ah, records from Springer.
Seriously, though. Was each editor so distracted by their BlackBerry that they needed that many editors?
(And yes, there is an (uncontrolled) 700 for each of them…)

This is like many of my work days, slowed down 500x.
Also, I’ve read some of those books.
