Help with rdoc stdlib on windows 2000

Ruby
1

Hi,

I can’t get any output using rdoc on the stdlib. I am using windows
2000 and ruby 1.8.4. from the one-click installer. I have tried:

rdoc c:\ruby\lib -f html --op f:\temp\rubydocs

rdoc c:\ruby\lib -f html -o f:\temp\rubydocs

and

rdoc c:\ruby\lib -f chm -o f:\temp\rubydocs --op rubydocs.chm

With nothing but a long wait to show for the effort. Any help would be
appreciated.

thx

I appears to be a bug. Rdoc does not recognize any paths other than
root. Given a Drive letter in Windows or Linux it fails. So you can’t
run on one disk and write to another.

These won’t give you the stdlib docs since it can’t get RDoc from the
C sources you don’t have.

Get a source tarball and build from it.
