Hi, While trying to install Ruby on Rails to work with an MS SQL Server database according to the instruction on the Ruby on Rails wiki (see http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerFromRailsOnLinux) I found that there was no ebuild for Ruby ODBC (http://www.ch-werner.de/rubyodbc/) Based on the Ruby-DBI ebuild I created an ebuild for this package. There is a dependency with unixODBC and ofcourse Ruby. I was able to get this ebuild working on a clean 2005.1 install with Ruby 1.8.3 and unixODBC-2.2.11-r1 This is my first attempt at creating an ebuild, so please check if it is correct. Hein

Should I provide the other licence as a new licence? or how do I indicate that this package is dual licenced? > - remove S=${WORKDIR}/ruby-odbc-${PV} done > - src_unpack() is superfluous remove > - in src_compile() call emake instead make changed Thanks for the feedback. Shoud I als change the make command in the src_install section to emake? This software can also be configured with UTF-8 support (see http://www.ch-werner.de/rubyodbc/README) but than the scr_compile and src_install commands are different? how do I implement that?

Yes. LICENSE="|| ( GPL-2 <foo> )" is the correct expression. > Shoud I als change the make command in the src_install section to emake? No. > This software can also be configured with UTF-8 support (see > http://www.ch-werner.de/rubyodbc/README) but than the scr_compile and > src_install commands are different? how do I implement that? Usually you add something alike IUSE="unicode" and local myconf="" use unicode && myconf="utf8" I just don't know how ruby handles different encodings and if using the existing global unicode use flag may be misleading.
Created attachment 89677 [details] ruby-odbc.ebuold A fixed version, added ruby.eclass inheritance, changed the dependancies a little and some tweaks. Works on amd64, so I keyworded it ~amd64.
Created attachment 98822 [details] ruby-odbc-0.9993.ebuild Ebuild for latest version of ruby-dbi. When I let the ebuild use ruby_src_compile the installed .so wouldn't work.
