Rubyinstaller devel - Feb 2004 - RubyInstaller Build -- didn''t get very far

Hi Guys!

I didn''t get very far with trying to build the installer this weekend
(due
to lack of time). I''m hoping to work on it tomorrow (Monday) night
after
work. But just in case one of you has already run into the problem I got and
already know the fix I''ve pasted my build log below.

Please note that I have not had time to investigate this, so this could
easily be something small and obvious -- meaning, if you don''t
recognize
this right off, don''t waste any of your time. On the other hand, if
you''ve
run into this and you know what to do, please let me know as it will save me
some time tomorrow night.

If I don''t have cygwin\bin on my path I get the results in build-log-1
which
downloads the ruby source bur fails on the tar command (because cygwin\bin
is not on the path).

If I put cygwin\bin on the path it doesn''t even get to the point of
downloading the ruby source.

Am I supposed to be running this within a cygwin command prompt instead of a
normal command window?

Thanks,
Curt

Do a "make clean" in stable and try again, it looks like it got
confused
when it couldn''t find tar the first time.
