HOWTO: install cygwin with ruby, rubygems, and rake on windows XP
how to install cygwin with ruby, rubygems, and rake on windows XP

Download and install cygwin and make sure the "ruby" package is 
selected.

make sure the RUBYOPTS environment variable is empty or unset

Download and unpack the rubygems distribution zip or tar file into a 
temporary area.

set GEM_HOME=/usr/local/lib/ruby in the system environment variables

In the cygwin bash shell cd to the root of what you unpacked.
execute these commands:

$ ruby ./setup.rb config
$ ruby ./setup.rb setup
$ ruby ./setup.rb install

set RUBYOPTS=rubyopts in system environment variables

Gems is now installed on cygwin ruby.
Now you can install rake

Download and unpack the rake distribution .zip or .tar file into a temp 
area.
In the cygwin bash shell cd to the root of what you unpacked.
execute this command:

$ ruby ./setup.rb

Rake should now be installed.
