the state of windows compatibility for RAD
Greg Borenstein
Sorry it took me a little while to get back to you, I just released a
new version of the gem this week (0.2.1) so that and other day job
types of things had me pre-occupied.
As far as the ParseTree dependency goes, it is indirect. RAD uses
RubyToC (http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby2c/) to translate the
"loop" method in each sketch into C that can be inserted into the .cpp
file and handed off to avr-gcc for compilation. There seems to be some
question as to what it would take to get RubyToC working on windows
(read some debate here:http://www.megasolutions.net/ruby/Using-RubyInline-and-RubyToC-in-windows_-64186.aspx)
. Maybe this new parse_tree_reloaded gem is a sign that progress is
being made in that area.
I'd love to hear back what you find as to whether and how it's
possible to get RubyToC (and therefore RAD) up and running on windows.
(I hope it's alright, I've copied the newly-minted Ruby Arduino
Development mailing list on this message: http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-arduino-development
for future reference by others.)
yours,
Greg
