Installing With JRuby

[lbedner]

Hello.

I have successfully installed this gem under pure ruby (1.8.7) with no issues, and have been using it for quite some time:

gem install tiny_tds -v 0.6.0.rc1

Now, I am trying to install it with Jruby (1.7.7):

jruby -S gem install tiny_tds -v 0.6.0.rc1

And I'm getting the following error:

---

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing tiny_tds:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

And of course, just pointing out that FreeTDS is already successfully installed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I don't believe TinyTds will work with jRuby since it requires C extensions to be compiled into a shared library.
With jRuby I use all Java libraries and it's been pretty painless.
For SQL Server I've used the built-in activerecord-jdbcmssql-adapter from activerecord-jdbc-adapter.

NotImplementedError: C extension support is not enable

Yea, I tested it some time ago with success on jRuby, but they really did not want to continue to support C extensions. I have an issue on the adapter to incorporate a JDBC connection mode since the adapter has abstract support for that. rails-sqlserver/activerecord-sqlserver-adapter#106
