help with rdoc stdlib on windows 2000

[tesla]

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

-Tesla

There is one error. At some point, an argument is generated to make a
directory on the path "files/c:". This is not a valid path.

I know this is no a complete answer, but this stands out as an obvious
error.

I wonder if it's a path separator issue. Perhaps replacing the
backslashes with forward slashes will work.

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

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.

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.
