SIOC/SiocExplorer

About

SIOC explorer is a web application similar to a feed-reader: it allows people to subscribe to SIOC feeds and read their content. Because SIOC data is very rich, people can filter the content based on e.g. authors, topics, creation date, or any other properties.

Installing it following 'Getting Started Guide' for Windows

Cygwin

The guide says: "Select the packages: gcc-core, gcc-c++, ..." but I didn't find gcc-c++ only gcc-g++ - is this the package that is meant?

Ruby and Rubygems

error when executing ./configure && make && make install in Cygwin:

./missing/strftime.c: In function `strftime':
./missing/strftime.c:193: error: 'timezone' redeclared as different kind of symbol
/usr/include/cygwin/time.h:33: error: previous declaration of 'timezone' was here
make: *** [strftime.o] Error 1

I continued with Ruby One-Click Installer - successful installation, but is it configured as needed?

minor: link in "download the newest ruby-x.y.z.tgz from the official ruby downloads" is faulty.

Sparql Adapter

how do I set PATH for cygwin shell? Using

$ gem install activerdf_sparql

results in:

c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- /cygdrive/c/ruby/bin/gem (LoadError)

so I used

$ ../bin/gem install activerdf_sparql

which resulted in an error:

I downloaded nmake from Microsoft - cygwin didn't use it. But on normal Windows command line nmake was used, but another error came up:

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
