Hoe does not like windows?

Ruby
1

I get the following running rake -T on a project seeded for Hoe:

rake aborted!
couldn’t find HOME environment – expanding `~/.hoerc’

ruby -v:
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32]

and all gems are updated to latest.

Does hoe not run on windows?
Cheers,

The hoe docs refer to untested Windows fixes, and I know the general
atmosphere around it is certainly biased in favor of Unix. That’s
about as much as I know.

Hoe will run on windows. You may just have to tweak things a bit.
You need to add a HOME system environment variable. I have mine
pointing to my %userprofile% path. I ran into a few other problems,
but I can’t recall the details right now. If you get stuck, let me
know .

Yep, setting the HOME variable did the trick.
