Installation of Berkshelf v3 on Cygwin is known to be very diffcult, but I have finally found the way. 😄
You can successfully install it by following the procedure below.
(As at 2014/6/8, v3.1.3 is available)
Among the gems on which Berkshelf depends, there are two gems that are difficult to install:
- ffi
- dep-selector-libgecode
In other words, if you can install just these two gems, you should be able to install Berkshelf.
So Let’s give it a try!
Cygwin 64bit
(I used Windows 7, but believe it will also work on Windows 8)
Install the following:
- apt-cyg
- rbenv , ruby version 2.1
Put this file in a directory of your $PATH
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kou1okada/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg
e.g. C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin\apt-cyg.
and set it executable
chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/apt-cyg
Install required packages using apt-cyg
$ apt-cyg install git gcc-core gcc-g++ make zlib-devel curl \
autoconf libiconv libiconv-devel rsync patch unzip openssh openssl-\
devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel libffi-devel libgdbm-devel
Install rbenv and ruby-build
This follows the official manual.
git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv.git ~/.rbenv
git clone git://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
$SHELL --login
rbenv install 2.1.0-rc1
rbenv global 2.1.0-rc1
rbenv rehash
That’s it!
Validation/confirmation
$ ruby -v
ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-12-20 trunk 44301) [x86_64-cygwin]
You can install ffi per the above comment from RSmirnov:
$ apt-cyg install libffi6 libffi-devel pkg-config
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/lib/pkgconfig"
$ gem install ffi
# Create symlinks to gcc48.exe, g++48.exe
$ ln -s gcc.exe /usr/bin/gcc48.exe
$ ln -s g++.exe /usr/bin/g++48.exe
# Download and unzip gecode 3.7.3
$ wget "http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/gecode/gecode-3.7.3.tar.gz/7a5cb9945e0bb48f222992f2106130ac/gecode-3.7.3.tar.gz"
$ tar xvfz gecode-3.7.3.tar.gz
$ cd gecode-3.7.3
# Compile
$ ./configure CC="gcc48" --disable-doc-dot --disable-doc-search --disable-doc-tagfile --disable-doc-chm --disable-doc-docset --disable-qt --disable-examples --disable-flatzinc
$ make
$ make install
# Manually install the libraries
$ cp libgecode* /lib/
$ cp -r gecode/* /usr/include/

Did it work？

I’d like to express my profound gratitude to all those whose work made this possible.
The setup of rbenv consistently fails. Following that, none of the other steps work either.
This is way too complicated and renders the entire process unworkable outside of a pure unix environment.
