The Accelerator including almost everything by default – Ruby, gems etc. Adding the Merb framework was without any problems. Some tips:
Pre-requirements:
$ sudo gem install mongrel json json_pure erubis mime-types rspec hpricot mocha \
rubigen haml markaby mailfactory Ruby2Ruby --no-rdoc --no-ri
Switching to merb trunk:
$ svn co http://svn.devjavu.com/merb/trunk merb $ cd merb/ $ rake gem $ sudo gem install pkg/merb-0.4.2.gem --no-rdoc --no-ri
Swithing to merb_helpers trunk (for better form helpers):
$ svn co http://svn.devjavu.com/merb/plugins/merb_helpers $ cd merb_helpers/ $ rake gem $ gem list $ sudo gem install pkg/merb_helpers-0.4.1.gem --no-rdoc --no-riThere was problems with the datamapper installation. The do_sqlite3 gem compilation was successful. For do_mysql gem one however I needed:
cd /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/do_mysql-0.2.2/ext/
make clean
ruby extconf.rb --with-mysql-include=/opt/local/include/mysql \
--with-mysql-lib=/opt/local/lib/mysql
make
cd ../
rake gem
gem install pkg/do_mysql-0.2.2.gem \
--no-rdoc --no-ri -- \
--with-mysql-include=/opt/local/include/mysql \
--with-mysql-lib=/opt/local/lib/mysql
My coworker Jeffrey Gelens was pretty excited about merb+datamapper combo. He even submitted some composite indexes patch to their repository.
Thanks for posting how to get datamapper and mysql working. I spent way too long trying to get it working and eventually stopped caring. They should really make it easier to install.
