Unable to build from source?

Well, the release comes with libraries from ruby 2.3.0 and 2.4.0, so that might explain the code not working with recent versions.

[LagoLunatic]

DSVEdit requires Ruby 2.4, not Ruby 2.7 as you're using.

I'll update the link in the readme to point to this archived download page for 2.4: https://web.archive.org/web/20201111202701/https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

Also I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, so for anyone wondering why I don't just update the libraries DSVEdit uses so old Ruby isn't necessary: qtbindings for Ruby (what the GUI is made in) only supports up to Ruby 2.4 or 2.5. The more recent Ruby versions aren't supported, and probably won't be supported ever, so an old version must be used.

Maybe focus a re-write of the GUI because it is a colossal security risk. I appreciate the correct files though in the meantime.

Rewrite in what? There are no other Qt bindings for Ruby, so I would need to rewrite not just the GUI, but the entire program in another language entirely, such as Python. I won't ever do this. If you want to though, you're free to.

because it is a colossal security risk.

It is? Can you explain what specifically is at risk?

So ruby announced part of the reason they dropped support was a colossal unpatchable remote code execution vulnerability. Its the same reason they are getting ready to drop 2.5 too apparently this vunerablity is fixed in the major rework 3.0.1 they are delaying the drop because they know code transfer can take time. If I could code I would help re-write things but if you want help making a gui you should message my friend he may be able to make you something c++ and you can hook it with python.

Remote code execution is a vulnerability in serverside applications that allow hackers to run code on the server over a network. DSVEdit is not run on a server, so RCE vulnerabilities have no bearing on it.

Oh hey that is good news :D I told you I am not a coder but that makes sense :)
