akr b48e38c526 * time.c: new method gmtoff', gmt_offset' and `utc_offset'.
(time_utc_offset): new function.
(Init_Time): bind above methods to `time_utc_offset'.

* time.c: 64bit time_t support.
(time_s_at): use NUM2LONG instead of NUM2INT for tv_sec.
(time_arg): initialize tm_isdst correctly.
use long to initialize tm_year.
(search_time_t): renamed from `make_time_t'.
(make_time_t): call `timegm' and `mktime' instead of `search_time_t'
if availabe.
(time_to_i): use LONG2NUM instead of INT2NUM.
(time_localtime): check localtime failure.
(time_gmtime): check gmtime failure.
(time_year): use LONG2NUM instead of INT2FIX.
(time_to_a): use long for tm_year.
(time_dump): check tm_year which is not representable with 17bit.
(time_load): initialize tm_isdst.

* configure.in: check existence of `mktime' and `timegm'.
check existence of tm_gmtoff field of struct tm.
fix negative time_t for 64bit time_t.

* missing/strftime.c: fix overflow by tm_year + 1900.

* What's Ruby

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and
easy object-oriented programming.  It has many features to
process text files and to do system management tasks (as in
Perl).  It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.


* Features of Ruby

  + Simple Syntax
  + *Normal* Object-Oriented features(ex. class, method calls)
  + *Advanced* Object-Oriented features(ex. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
  + Operator Overloading
  + Exception Handling
  + Iterators and Closures
  + Garbage Collection
  + Dynamic Loading of Object files(on some architecture)
  + Highly Portable(works on many UNIX machines, and on DOS,
    Windows, Mac, BeOS etc.)


* How to get Ruby

The Ruby distribution can be found on:

  ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/

You can get it by anonymous CVS.  How to check out is:

  $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org:/src login
  (Logging in to anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org)
  CVS password: anonymous
  $ cvs -z4 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org:/src checkout ruby


* Ruby home-page

The URL of the Ruby home-page is:

   http://www.ruby-lang.org/


* Mailing list

There is a mailing list to talk about Ruby.
To subscribe this list, please send the following phrase

	subscribe YourFirstName YourFamilyName
e.g.
        subscribe Joseph Smith

in the mail body (not subject) to the address <ruby-talk-ctl@ruby-lang.org>.


* How to compile and install

This is what you need to do to compile and install Ruby:

  1. If ./configure does not exist or is older than configure.in,
     run autoconf to (re)generate configure.

  2. Run ./configure, which will generate config.h and Makefile.

  3. Edit defines.h if you need.  Probably this step will not need.

  4. Remove comment mark(#) before the module names from ext/Setup (or
     add module names if not present), if you want to link modules
     statically.

     If you don't want to compile non static extension modules
     (probably on architectures which does not allow dynamic loading),
     remove comment mark from the line "#option nodynamic" in
     ext/Setup.

  5. Run make.

  6. Optionally, run 'make test' to check whether the compiled Ruby
     interpreter works well.  If you see the message "test succeeded",
     your ruby works as it should (hopefully).

  7. Run 'make install'

     You may have to be a super user to install ruby.

If you fail to compile ruby, please send the detailed error report with
the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
