To follow up, I can confirm that buildr installs and works with: gem install buildr --platform mswin32 Maybe that's what you should put in your installation guide? Contrary to what I said in my first mail, with this fix the ruby installer devkit is not necessary because rubygems installs the binary gems as you intended. It might also be worth mentioning that you need Ruby 1.8, not Ruby 1.9, because the ruby installer page lists both without guidance. Users might tend to choose the higher number ;) -- Will
rjb-1.1.9 does not build on Windows with JDK in default location
I just went through an unpleasant two hours trying to get buildr to install on Windows. May I make two suggestions to improve your Installing on Windows section at http://buildr.apache.org/installing.html ? 1. Installing the Ruby one-click installer is not enough, you also need the devkit so you have a compiler and make. The devkit is a 7zip file available on the same page as the one-click installer. You just extract it to your Ruby directory and make sure the paths in devkit/msys/1.0.11/etc/fstab are accurate. 2. The version rjb-1.1.9 required by buildr-1.3.5 does not build when your JAVA_HOME has spaces in the path. The default install location is in C:/Program Files, which means rjb will not build. rjb-1.2.0 works, so please either release an updated buildr gem that works with this fixed version of rjb or suggest a work-around of installing the JDK to a non-default location with no spaces in the path. Thanks, -- Will

Hi Will, Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sure it will be useful to others.

Ok, we'll upgrade to rjb-1.2.0 for Buildr 1.4.0 so this shouldn't be an issue in the future. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-356 alex

Could be one of the gems was in the switchover from Rubyforge to Gemcutter? The latest versions of the Ruby one click installer are compiled with mingw, not msvc6, and I believe that means they are not binary compatible with -mswin32 gems. Rubygems selects the basic all-platforms gems with this build of Ruby.

I think they're just using a different platform identifier, because their suggestion is: gem install --platform=mswin32 http://wiki.github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/gem-list Could be targeted with a specific Buildr gem that's identical to -mswin32 but has the proper platform identifier to match one-click installer.
