Greetings all,
I come not to bury _why, but to praise him for this excellent toolkit.
The latest release (r1057) has fixed most of the problems I was
having, however, one sticking point remains: WWW::Mechanize on
Windows. I typically develop on OSX and give the programs to loved
ones stuck with Windows. Mechanize used to have a problem installing
on OSX, but the latest release seems to have taken care of that,
however, installing mechanize on Windows still displays the same
behavior. I have a setup method like this:
Shoes.setup do
gem 'RedCloth'
gem 'metaid'
gem 'hoe'
gem 'mechanize'
end
As I said, everything is peachy on OSX, and Windows is peachy until
it gets to mechanize, then the setup stalls at:
--
Installing Mechanize
Building native extensions, this could take a while...
--
at which it hangs and does nothing, no console messages, nothing.
This is the way it used to work on OSX until r1057.
Strange this is, mechanize doesn't have any native extensions to build.
BTW, this is Windows XP-SP2
Any help?
