Ruby for OpenVMS Alpha X1.8-1X014 is based on Ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25).
All core Ruby libraries are included; However, all libraries have not been tested.
The kit includes only the socket library. You can use the libraries which call socket library instantaly. (ex. net/http)
Other library will be included in future releases.
Ruby for OpenVMS installed on SYS$COMMON:[RUBY] by default.
| [RUBY] | Ruby interpreter files |
| [RUBY.LIB] | Libraries. Pointed to by Logical name RUBY_LIBROOT. |
| [RUBY.SRC] | Source files to make extension library. (Currentry only ruby.h is included.) |
The global variable $: keeps directory list referred to by require. Directories in the list are defined as relative path from the directory pointed to by logical name RUBY_LIBROOT.
Your directories can be included in the directory list using the logical name RUBYLIB. For details, see values of the global variable $: (ruby -e "puts $:").
$ ruby -e "puts $:" /RUBY_LIBROOT/site_ruby/018 /RUBY_LIBROOT/site_ruby/018/alpha-vms /RUBY_LIBROOT/site_ruby /RUBY_LIBROOT/018 /RUBY_LIBROOT/018/alpha-vms
This command procedure will define the required logical names. This file placed on SYS$STARTUP. System manager must modify the SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to execute this command procedure.
