ruby-1.8.3: ginstall

ruby-1.8.3: ginstall

Corinna,

While building a ruby module (extconf.rb method) with ruby-1.8.3,
INSTALL is defined as "/usr/bin/ginstall -c".  There's no ginstall on
Cygwin, just install.

%&$#!

On my machine I had a ginstall for some reason and I even don't know
anymore where it came from.

As a quick hack, open the file /lib/ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin/rbconfig.rb
and edit the CONFIG["INSTALL"] line accordingly.  If it works, please
report back.  I'll then upload a new ruby release.


Thanks for the hint,
Corinna

That fixes it.

OK, status quo remains - cygwin will only provide /bin/install, and if you
want ginstall, make your own symlink.

I don't think this small glitch in my setup justifies solving the
problem with the big hammer ;-)

coreutils internally builds ginstall.exe, then installs it to
install.exe (otherwise, imagine the confusion if you type
make install, but it builds the one binary instead of installing
everything in coreutils).  Should I provide a new coreutils
release that provides g<name> variants of the various
coreutils as links to the <name> version, so that cygwin
would then indeed have a ginstall in addition to install?
