After `make install` the end result in the indicated prefix is a series of batch files like: irb.bat which contains a mix of windows commands and the Ruby script in it, which is then fired using `ruby -x` On RubyInstaller we replaced that with plain stubs and the original scripts from Ruby's source code, see here: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/blob/master/recipes/interpreter/ruby19.rake#L146-149 https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/blob/master/recipes/interpreter/ruby19.rake#L156-161 https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/blob/master/recipes/interpreter/ruby19.rake#L182-191 This workaround was implemented so `ruby -S irb` works. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4731: ruby -S irb fails with mingw/msys vanilla builds http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4731 Author: Roger Pack Status: Feedback Priority: Normal Assignee: Nobuyoshi Nakada Category: Target version: ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3dev (2011-05-18 trunk 31614) [i386-mingw32] as reported originally with http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/36285 basically mingw builds fail with $ ruby -S irb and always have, at least for the 1.9 branches. $ ruby -S irb ruby: No such file or directory -- irb (LoadError) -- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
