JRubyOnHPUX11_23
» JRuby Project Home Page » Getting Started with JRuby
This document describes a workaround to get JRUBY working on HPUX, since untarring jruby-bin-1.0.tar causes the following error, in addition to missing jar files in $JRUBY_HOME/lib.
x jruby-1.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/rspec-1.0.5/ri/Spec/Runner/Formatter/RdocFormatter/ example_passed-i., 216 bytes, 1 tape blocks tar: ././@LongLink creating as regular file. x ././@LongLink, 125 bytes, 1 tape blocks directory checksum error
This document was authored by a newbie. There might be better ways to make JRuby work on HPUX. (Don't know how to test or check if all JRuby functions and features are working with this workaround. At least my scripts seem to work.)
Note: Before going through all the work below, you might want to try downloading and building GNU tar. I used GNU tar to unpack the JRuby tar and everything worked great. No errors. If you don't want to go through building GNU tar, then here's the workaround:
- tar xvf jruby-bin-1.0.tar (ignore the @LongLink errors)
- Copy the following jars to JRUBY_HOME/lib directory. (I had a copy of these jar files on a Linux box, where the untar worked successfully.)
asm-2.2.3.jar asm-commons-2.2.3.jar backport-util-concurrent.jar bsf.jar emma.jar emma_ant.jar jarjar-0.7.jar jline-0.9.91.jar jruby.jar junit.jar
3. Modify $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jruby bash file as follows. (I had to do this as I don't have bash on my HP box and don't know how to convert a bash script into ksh or some other shell script.)
JRUBY_HOME="<<jruby_home>>" #Substitute your jruby_home JRUBY_OPTS="" JAVA_CMD='java' JRUBY_SHELL=/bin/sh CP="$JRUBY_HOME/lib/asm-2.2.3.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/asm-commons-2.2.3.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/backport-util-concurrent.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/bsf.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/emma.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/emma_ant.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/jarjar-0.7.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/jline-0.9.91.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/jruby.jar: \ $JRUBY_HOME/lib/junit.jar" JRUBY_BASE="$JRUBY_HOME" JAVA_MEM=-Xmx256m JAVA_STACK=-Xss1024k JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_MEM $JAVA_STACK -Xverify:none -da" exec "$JAVA_CMD" $JAVA_OPTS -classpath "$CP" \ "-Djruby.base=$JRUBY_BASE" "-Djruby.home=$JRUBY_HOME" \ "-Djruby.lib=$JRUBY_BASE/lib" -Djruby.script=jruby \ "-Djruby.shell=$JRUBY_SHELL" \ org.jruby.Main $JRUBY_OPTS "$@"
4. Set up your environment variables.
export JAVA_HOME="<<java_home>>" #Substitute your java_home export JRUBY_HOME="<<jruby_home>>" #Substitute your jruby_home export PATH=$PATH:$JRUBY_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:.
5. Test JRUBY
jruby -e ' puts "jruby is working" '
