Build fails on Windows 8.1 with cygwin (tar) #27

Closed phromo closed 8 years ago

phromo commented 10 years ago

Problem

If building on windows with cygwin tar in path Then a hpp file is generated in a way that requires administrative access and the build fails:

auto-link.hpp: Permission denied Compilation terminated

Workaround:

takeown /F "c:\ruby200" /R icacls "c:\ruby200" /grant "creator owner":(OI)(CI)F

Background:

which tar /usr/bin/tar

ruby -version 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14) [i386-mingw32]

I hate to say it but this code is horribly broken if it relies on a tar executable to be available. This absolutely doesn't work on windows. All the gems like berkshelf that rely on his gem are horribly broken on windows as well i'm afraid.

I've worked around these issues by using the chef development kit (chef dk) that comes with everything prebuilt

we don't support cygwin. using chef-dk will get you an msys environment which will be less painful.
