ffcrm running on WinXP?

[Jiri Slaby]

Hi all,

I am using ffcrm (fatfreecrm-fat_free_crm-0.10.1-rc3-81) on WinXP. I
managed to install and set up a full Ruby environment and compile and
run ffcrm. I found some bugs (cannot access some Accounts - error when
opening the page, etc.). I decided to install the latest version of
ffcrm (fatfreecrm-fat_free_crm-0.10.1-rc3-408). It cannot compile.
Every week I try to get the latest git source code, uncompress it to
the new directory, amend config and DB files and using 'bundle
install' I try to install this new versions. Every time since that old
version it fails. For the last 4 weeks it fails at

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.

When googling I have found that kgio is *NIX only.

Am I right that ffcrm is no longer intended to run on Win* systems? Or
is there a way how to overcome this (e.g. to install getaddrinfo
manually)?

Many thanks

[Nathan Broadbent]

Hi Jiri,

Sorry about that, I have added the 'unicorn' gem to the Gemfile for heroku deployments, and this depends on 'kgio'. Sorry that this broke your installation on windows.

You can safely ignore the unicorn gem under the :heroku group in the Gemfile, by running 'bundle install --without heroku'. I hope you can get FFCRM running again after this. I'll also add that to the README.

We do still want to support windows. Unfortunately, we don't have a way of detecting problems automatically, since our CI service (Travis CI) can't run tests on Windows (yet).

Regards,

Nathan B

Thanks for this hint. Tried it righaway. Unfortunately it fails still,
but somewhere else:

--------------------------------------

I googled again and found this

https://github.com/fractaloop/libv8/issues/25

where the solutoon is definitely a sad one.

More googling reveald also this

https://github.com/cowboyd/less.rb/issues/15

where the answer leads to

https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer/issues/133

respectively to

http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller/browse_thread/thread/72bfd19d521a4394

where the answer is even worse that the first one.


But I do not want to give up. I still believe that ffcrm is the tool
that I want to use (did not find any better that is that light I
need).

As a summary is Python needed for libv8? If so how if is possible that
for that old version of ffcrm I installed 'bundle install' (even with
heroku) without problems including libv8. I did not change my
environment at all (Python is not installed). I am confused here a
bit :(

Thanks
Jiri

[Nathan Broadbent]

Hi Jiri,

Sorry again. 'therubyracer' gem uses the libv8 javascript engine to compile coffeescript.

However, Windows should come with JScript, which rails (via execjs) will automatically detect and use, so libv8 and therubyracer should not be necessary on Windows. So I have changed the Gemfile again to make the 'therubyracer' only install for *nix.

Please do update and try again, and let me know if there are any more problems.

Thanks, 
Nathan

No problem. I am happy to help by acting as a Win proof-tester.

'bundle install --without heroku' finished correctly now. Then 'rake

Tasks: TOP => crm:upgrade:schema => environment
------------------

So I have not run rake db:migrate yet until you tell me that the
schema upgrade is not needed and I can skip this step.

Thanks for your help so far. We will fine-tune this to enable FFCRM on
Windows :-)

Perhaps one more thing how I prepare every new environment. For you to
validate if I am not missing something or doing it wrong.

1. Download full source code from github
2. rename the old ffcrm directory
3. Unpack the new source code to the fat directory where the previous
version was (now it is empty)
4. copy database.yml from the old version
5. copy all fat_free_crm_development.sqlite3 files to the DB directory
6. run bundle install --without heroku
7. run rake crm:upgrade:schema
8. run db:migrate
9. run rails server

Till now we are successfully between 6 and 7.

I also tried to do a fresh install (not to migrate) and instead of
crm:upgrade I run db:create. It completed successfully, but then the
next (setup) step failed for the same reason as crm:upgrade:schema.

------------------
D:\www\fat>rake db:create

D:\www\fat>rake crm:setup

Hi Jiri,

I'm sorry, I really don't know why you are getting that error. I've never seen that before, and cannot reproduce it (on Linux, at least).

Would you please be able to tell me which Ruby version you are using, and how you installed Ruby and Rails on Windows? Also, are you using any plugins?

Thanks,

Nathan

Hi,

hmm strange.

-----------------
D:\www\fat>ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [i386-mingw32]

D:\www\fat>rails -v
Rails 3.1.3
-----------------

No plugins I am aware of. Or tell me which command I should run to
give you the best info you need.

I can also show you all gems I am using. The several versions you can
see happens as I run bundle install several times during the last
month and some versions of ffcrm downloaded newer gems.

Thanks, that helps! I installed Ruby 1.9.3 and reproduced the error. We hadn't started to support Ruby 1.9.3 yet, but it's about time.

I figured out the cause of the TagsHelper problem (a conflicting module in the acts-as-taggable-on gem), so it be fixed at bfd0bb3.

I hope this latest change solves your problem. Thanks for your patience!

Nathan

Perfect! That was it. Now it compiles without problems including DB
migration.

FFCRM is running again! :-) Thanks for your support.

Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem why I originally decided
to install a new version of ffcrm. Perhaps you can advise also here.

ffcrm was running ok, I was using it and one day suddenly when I click
on the Accounts tab and then on a particular account to show all its
opportunities it shows this error (the URL is http://localhost:3000/accounts/12):

-------------

-----------------

I thought originally that the database got corrupted somehow. So I
used an admin tool to look into tables and records are there with all
IDs. No visible problem. ffcrm is running normally - I can create new
account and opportunities, etc. This happens only at several accounts.
