Hi all,

there are now packages for Windows, Mac and Debian. If you have a moment I'd appreciate knowing if they work for you.

unzip, then double click Redcar.app
    
install with sudo dpkg -i redcar_xx_all.deb
    
unzip, then run redcar.exe

Suggestions welcome, this is my first .app, debian package and .exe file.

thanks!
Dan

When I try to run the Mac app, nothing happens. Trying from the
command-line (how a quick search told me to try; I'm no Mac expert):

~:$ open -a /Applications/Redcar.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application
/Applications/Redcar.app with error -10810.

Edit appears it may have been my error.

Installs and works just fine on my Mac Lion.

I wrote some rake tasks, under "installers": https://github.com/redcar/redcar/blob/master/Rakefile

It uses fpm for the debian package.

I'm open to suggestions for other tools. I might try rawr, if I can figure out how to package the whole thing as a jar.

I've been meaning to write a blog post for blog.jruby.org on using rawr+bundler together (and get the whole thing as a jar). It's slipped down the todo many weeks now, but I still attempt to do it.

I've worked out good way to get it to play nicely and will ping you when I get around to writing the post.

Hi,

I am trying to run redcar.exe but I get another command prompt (that runs java.exe) which fails but dissapears quickly and I do not get a chance to look at the error. I am sure I saw something about OpenSSL though.

First of all that is a "lie". Nothing is easy. Mind you that I still am a linux user and have been for the past 15 odd years. I am mac/linux user at home, but windows at work. Which is not a necessarily a bad thing, but that would be another conversation. I don't see you commenting anything useful to my comment though.

Kind regards,

Nikos

Thanks for reporting that. If you run the following command you will be able to see the error.

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -classpath vendor\jruby-complete.jar org.jruby.Main bin\redcar --no-sub-jruby --show-log --log-level=debug

I'm pretty sure there's just one problem between all the reports now, this error about Cipher not being a class. I'll hopefully get a chance to take a look soon.

Hello,

Thanks for the help. Indeed the problem is the same for me. I paste the trace so that you can track it just in case.

Redcar 0.14.0dev ( java )
 info [05/04/12 13:26:26] REDCAR 0.14.0dev start (start time was Fri May 04 13:26:23 +0100 2012)

Just in case it helps I also found this page http://serverfault.com/questions/114725/openssl-support-for-ruby-cipher-is-not-a-module-typeerror

So probably just a short-term solution but reverting this commit makes this work for me:  https://github.com/redcar/redcar/commit/f81aa964e929555bce4a0a3b62ec7d2c854a8384

I did a rake installers:osx and I'm happily using redcar as an OSX app.  Loving this!

Just tried this and indeed it works for windows as well (of course I had to build that with cygwin as I do not have the one click installer).
If building from cygwin remember to install the json_pure gem and not json as it has problems.
Additionally there are still problems with 64 bit java. In my machine this is default. Any way to work around that with the redcar installer?

The 64 bit problem was fixed by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable to a 32 bit version. Still is there any ETA for a supported 64 bit version on windows?
