[MacRuby-devel] HAVE_RUBY_VM_H and nkf.bundle (was: installing tmail)

[Brian Marick]

The problem with installing TMail are lines like this in tmailscanner.c

#ifdef HAVE_RUBY_VM_H
#include "ruby/re.h"
#include "ruby/encoding.h"
#else
#include "re.h"
#endif

I suspect "HAVE_RUBY_VM_H" is being used as a synonym for "on 1.9". It's defined once in the 1.9 source I have, never used. It's not defined in either 1.8.7 or MacRuby.

Is there a more correct way to say "compiling against 1.9"? I don't see anything obvious in the include files, other than parsing it out of paths.

(Is there a correct way to say "compiling against MacRuby?")

=============

Hacking around that gets tmailscanner.c to compile, but tmail also requires 'nkf.bundle', which exists in 1.8 but not in MacRuby. I might try to compile the version out of 1.9, but this pile of yak hair is getting pretty deep, considering I just want to parse RFC822 headers.
