[FR-devel] "patch" for freeride + mingw problem

[Gour]

Hi!

Here is the small "patch" which fixes the problem wiht absolute/relative paths
in FreeRIDE when it's run in Mingw & MSYS environment:

*** ./freebase.rb       Tue Jul  1 09:35:53 2003
--- /home/ggd/win/msys/1.0/home/ggd/freeride/freebase/lib/freebase/freebase.rb

***************
*** 45,51 ****
  #
  class File
    def File.absolute_path?(path)
!     if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin32/
        path =~ %r{^([a-zA-Z]:)*[/\\]+}
      else
        path[0..0] == File::SEPARATOR
--- 45,51 ----
  #
  class File
    def File.absolute_path?(path)
!     if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(mswin32|mingw32)/
        path =~ %r{^([a-zA-Z]:)*[/\\]+}
      else
        path[0..0] == File::SEPARATOR


Now I discovered that the problem is that instead of toolbar icons I get only 
icons
labeled PNG and the problem is the same no matter whether I launch FreeRIDE 
under
MSYS console of MSDOS prompt.

I'll try to investige a bit.

Sincerely,
Gour

ps. I submitted a request for devel list not knowing it has moderated access 
since I
didn't want to bother moderator with every message I send to the list.

However, I don't feel qualified to be active member of development team 
considering my
poor skills for the task.
