From: Marc Eckhert Date: 2011-10-09T09:57:12+09:00 Subject: Building ruby 1.9.2-p290 on Cygwin Windows x64 --001517447f3c69646804aed327cb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Wanted to pass along this fix for anyone else who has received the following error when trying to build ruby 1.9.2-p290 from source in Cygwin on a Win x64 platform: "uh-oh! RDoc had a problem: file '.' not readable" In the ruby source directory, change the following line in the file common.mk from: rdoc: PHONY main $(XRUBY) "$(srcdir)/bin/rdoc" --no-force-update --all --ri --op "$(RDOCO UT)" $(RDOCFLAGS) "$(srcdir)" to: rdoc: PHONY main $(XRUBY) "$(srcdir)/bin/rdoc" --no-force-update --all --ri --op "$(RDOCO UT)" $(RDOCFLAGS) I was able to successfully run configure ; make ; make install after doing so. I suspect that since RDoc defaults to building source documents in the current directory, the extra "$(srcdir)" is not needed. Marc --001517447f3c69646804aed327cb--
