Issues with installing jekyll

episanty commented 1 year ago

What problems are you experiencing?

I am consistently failing to install jekyll.

Steps to reproduce

Running on Windows 10 Enterprise, version 21H2, build 19044.2364.

I followed the steps on https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/windows/

Downloaded rubyinstaller-devkit-3.1.3-1-x64.exe from https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
Ran the installer using the standard options
Restarted the computer
On a fresh PowerShell, ran gem install bundler -- this works fine
Then, ran gem install jekyll

This produces the output below, the highlights from which are

ERROR: Error installing jekyll: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Nothing I try seems to change it. Full output:

PS C:\Users\username> gem install jekyll
Temporarily enhancing PATH for MSYS/MINGW...

What's the output from `ridk version`?

Happy to provide any further details needed.

There seems to be a mixture of different installations. You have C:\tools\ruby31\bin and C:\Ruby31-x64\bin, the former is preferred. You sad you're using the Ruby+Devkit flavour, but the MSYS path of ridk version is C:\tools\msys64, which seems not to be the one distributed by Rubyinstaller.

As far as I can tell you can either:

Remove C:\tools\ruby31\bin from the system environment variable PATH in the system settings, so that the Ruby+Devkit installation is used. That should enable the make tool and let you install jekyll.
Or use the C:\tools\ruby31\bin and C:\tools\msys64 directory and make sure, that the necessary tools are installed by running ridk install.

@larskanis Thanks for pointint out this inconsistency. It seems that the remnants of the previous attempts were all fighting each other.

I did my best to sandblast all referenced installations of ruby and msys64 from the system, rebooted, and started from scratch. This seems to have worked, though I'm really not sure why it didn't work the first time.

Thanks for your help, and this seems to be working on my side, so the issue can be closed (or deleted, if that helps keep things cleaner, as I don't think it will provide much value to future users).
