Using gems on Windows without dependencies

S

S. Robert James

gem install GEMNAME -f seems to fail on Windows. That is, if you say
no to the dependency, it will refuse to install.

How can I install a gem without its dependnecy? (railsmachine depends
on mongrel_cluster which depends on the binary version of mongrel which
won't work on Windows. This is all a mistake, because it'll run fine
with the Win ver. also - but I can't get gem to install it!)

Done.

In the meantime, is there anyway to install it by hand?

Download the gem from rubyforge.org and install it. local
installations ignore dependencies. (Sorry for not mentioning that
earlier, but this way I got a bug to work on.)
