Description ktukker 2008-01-22 10:28:28 UTC 
Using Netbeans Dev 200801220000 / Ruby1_6260

I'd like to add the native ruby 1.8 as platform. In Tools->Ruby Platforms (Platform manager) I click "add Platform" and
browse to the "ruby.exe" file. After clicking on it the IDE tells me:

"D:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" does not seem to be a valid Ruby interpreter.

The command "ruby.exe -v" returns:

D:\ruby\bin>ruby.exe -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]
Comment 1 ktukker 2008-01-22 10:38:06 UTC 
After installing Ruby 1.8.6 oneclick installer, the platform was added succesfully. Is 1.8.4 not supported?

D:\ruby-1.8.6\bin>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]
Comment 2 Martin Krauskopf 2008-01-22 10:49:46 UTC 
Hi, it should be. Could you run:

D:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe %PATH_TO_YOUR_NETBEANS%/ruby1/platform_info.rb

It probably produces an error. Thanks.

Comment 5 Martin Krauskopf 2008-01-22 10:58:44 UTC 
Ok, thanks. Seems that RbConfig was not in the 1.8.4 times. Definitely better to stay with up-to-date version of Ruby
interpreters. Either I'll reject addition of ancient version or I'll fix the script. Thanks for the feedback.
Comment 6 Martin Krauskopf 2008-01-22 11:28:11 UTC 
RbConfig is not defined in Ruby 1.8.4. It was just Config. Fixed, now you should be able to add 1.8.4 as well.

PS: will be available in one of the next build on deadlock

Comment 8 ktukker 2008-01-22 13:44:41 UTC 
I replaced the installed platform_info.rb with the one in trunk. 

1.8.4 win32 ruby.exe installes nicely as a platform now. Confirmed to work
