Ruby Programming Language :: Can Ruby be compiled against uclibc?


	Can Ruby be compiled against uclibc? Hi! I am trying to target an ARM based system that will have limited resources. The primary reason why I want to use uclibc instead of gcc is because of the size reduction. Does anybody have any kind of idea how could I accomplish this task? Just for practice and to see what possible problems could arise I tried to compile Ruby against i386-uclibc-linux. The output became quite tragic. http://www.hungarydan.com/output_e.txt Thx Dan -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I think there are other ways to do it. There may be some code of mine for the Gumstix on Rubyforge in the "roast" project. I haven't touched it in months, but I think what was there worked and built Ruby. M.

Maybe it is a little bit too late but I am afraid I didn't get what you have just now said. What projects and what is that buildroot? pls give me some detailed hints.
