[damagecontrol-user] Problems getting started with damagacontrol (SVN-tarball) on Windows

[Niklaus Giger-2]

Hi

In order to replace my own ruby scripts to do my daily builds at work,
I searched for tools
on the Web and found damagecontrol to be a very interesting project.

Yesterday I was unsuccessful trying to install damagecontrol on my
Powerbook running
Debian GNU/Linux but hope to be able to solve my problems after work.

Today I installed at work on my Windows XP using ruby 1.8.2
(2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
and gem version 0.8.11 all required gems for damagecontrol 0.6

As my firewall prevents a direct access to
svn://beaver.codehaus.org/damagecontrol/scm/branches/damagecontrol_active_record
(http would be fine) I downloaded the tarball offered by
http://svn.damagecontrol.codehaus.org/branches/damagecontrol_active_record/

As I was unable to install win32-sound-0.3.0 on my PC (I only have the
free GCC Mingw and Cygwin)
I put a  comment at the beginning of line 21  lib/damagecontrol.rb
 # require 'win32/sound'

As I was unable to install a CVS repository on my Network-Drive I
reinstalled damagecontrol
on a local HD.
 
rake migrate RAILS_ENV=production
complained about log/development.log. I fixed this error using a chmod
0666 using Cygwin.

Now I got the following error running script/create_demo_project:

What is wrong here?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

FYI - if you want to still have access to SVN even though your corporate firewall does not open the port, you can use SSH tunneling.  Google for "ssh tunnel putty".

DamageControl will move shortly to a new server where you can use
subversion over http.

You don't have to build it. Binaries (sound.so) are available for
download at RubyForge:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=85&release_id=2239

Just stick it under your Ruby installation. I don't remember the exact
location. Look for other .so files or ask on win32utils.

Ideally I'd prefer to check this library into DC's subversion and
amend the load path, but I haven't spent much time trying to do so. If
someone knows how, please let me know.

What exactly was the complaint?

That file has been deleted from SVN a while ago. If it's in the
tarball, it must be a bug in the tarballer. Don't use it. Instead, see
the documentation, which you should be able to get from
http://localhost:3000/doc/import_project (yes I know, the web
interface looks quite crap).

Also make sure you're using edge rails, or at least the Rails 0.14.3
gem: http://download.rubyonrails.com/

Hope this helps. I'm happy to help out with further questions.

Ouch, what I said there was not correct. It's indeed there. I'll
either fix it or delete it...
