Can't use RDF/Raptor on Windows

Ruby

I have compiled Raptor on Windows with cygwin, now I don’t know where to
put the files, so the rdf-raptor gem should work.

What shall I do?

Unfortunately you can’t mix and match cygwin libraries with your windows
native ruby.

Your options:

  1. install libxml/raptor using mingw devkit (might be easy, might be
    hard).
  2. install rdf-raptor gem using cygwin version of ruby, since you have
    cygwin raptor libraries installed.

There might be other options, too, dunno.

I’m trying to use RDF.rb on a Rails project, and almost everything is
ready, only RDF.rb is missing.
So, I think I’ll install MingW to try to compile libxml and raptor.

I already tried on Visual Studio, but didn’t work (I don’t know why).

Thank you for the tip. If I succeed, I’ll tell you.
