Oops, read through the thread and it doesn't look like there was a
succinct answer to your question.
The easy fix to your compilation problem of RubyInline on windows is:
1) comment out dependency "merb-action-args" in dependencies.rb. This
is the only dependency that uses ParseTree, RubyInline, ruby2ruby, etc
2) run thor merb:gem:install
The only thing to keep in mind is if you don't have action-args
installed, you wont be able to use arguments now on your controller
actions. For example this wouldnt work any longer:
class Articles < Application
def show(id)
end
end
You would need to use this:
class Articles < Application
def show
id = params[:id]
end
end
So it would revert to the more "Railsy" way to use parameters.
Personally, as much as I think action-args is very cool as a tech
demo, I often keep it commented out since I don't really like having
this much magic behind the scenese of my controllers. Never had a
problem with just using params hash to get action inputs.
