Octopress Config for Ruby 2.3 on Windows 10

| Comments | ∞

Motivation

Same as the background in my previous article.

Background

I uninstalled Ruby 2.0 in the Control Panel, and then installed version 2.3.3 from RubyInstaller for Windows

Problem 1: RedCloth installation failure

Error message

Gem::InstallError: The 'RedCloth' native gem requires installed build tools.

Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from 'http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads' and follow the instructions
at 'http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit'

An error occurred while installing RedCloth (4.2.9), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install RedCloth -v '4.2.9'` succeeds before bundling.

The error message is similar to Joe’s gem install error. The only difference is that I was installing RedCloth 4.9.

Solution

This failure is due to the absence of a valid path to RubyInstaller Development Kit. I tried manually adding the path to the folder for binary executables (default to C:\RubyDevKit\bin) to PATH, but it’s unsuccessful. I googled “Please update your PATH to include build tools” and found his question, whose third answer explained the function of devkitvar.bat. This batch script actually prepended the path of two folders into PATH. One is stated above; one is C:\RubyDevKit\mingw\bin. Running this batch file changes PATH temporarily. A manual configuration in the Control Panel allowed the system to detect DevKit, and this problem was thus solved.

From the line

wdm.h:4:0: warning: "_WIN32_WINNT" redefined [enabled by default]

I found wdm issue #18, but I failed to notice that the problem had been resolved. I later knew that from Jekyll issue #3721.

After changing the version number of wdm to 0.1.1, I could proceed further. The system output was fine.

Problem 3: I have a row with Justin.

When I ran rake preview, the follow line appeared.

bash: /c/Ruby23-x64/bin/rake: C:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/rub
y23_mingw/bin/ruby.exe: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I searched “rake install justin projects” on Google. You may follow griest’s advice to have this problem fixed. If this link were unluckily dead in the future, you might leave a comment below after getting rid of Justin at the first line of /c/Ruby23-x64/bin/rake.

Result

Octopress did work on my machine. Then I re-ran bundle install under the local repository for my another blog, but the same Celluloid error re-appeared. I don’t know how to perform a celluloid downgrade to version 16.0 under that repository. The version number for Celluloid was generated by the system—I didn’t type it in Gemfile.lock. As a result, I switched to Ubuntu on Windows 10.
