On windows, I use the GnuWin32 tar package. When I try to use the
package task it gave me an error that windows cannot fork. ; Looking
online, I find this blog post
http://blog.labnotes.org/2005/11/03/creating-zip-and-tar-packages-with-rake-on-windows/ which has the following
Creating a zip package worked on the first try, but tar complained that it 'Cannot fork: Function not implemented'
.
It turns out that Cygwin's tar can't run gzip. So once again, it's time
to fix the Rake source code. This time we're talking about rake/packagetask.rb, line 117 that calls tar with the z option. I replaced that one line with a separate call to tar and gzip:
sh %{tar cvf #{package_name}.tar #{package_name}} if flag == 'z' sh %{gzip #{package_name}.tar} end
You'll need to be a bit more fancy if you want to support both
.tar.gz and .tgz suffixes, but this little fix will allow you to create
.tar.gz.
I did this and the package task worked.
