Scripts fail to start on Cygwin

Scripts fail to start on Cygwin

Description

Upon downloading the scripts, I was able to view the help and the version, to verify that I had the latest version.
Trying to use any of the scripts further, however, resulted in the stack trace given below.

Further details

The identical stack trace appears when using any of the scripts, with or without any parameters.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Ruby gem results in the same error immediately.
I first noticed this after adding the

/home/Callum/bin

directory to the Windows system environment variable path as

C:/cygwin/Callum/bin

but after removing them from the path the error persists.

System information

• OS: Win7 x64 Service Pack 1
• Cygwin version: 2.0.1(0.287/5/3)
• Ruby version: ruby 2.0.0p598 (2014-11-13) [x86_64-cygwin]

[lisamelton]

I think Markus is correct. I'm requiring the wrong Ruby version.

[lisamelton]

Callum,

Thanks for the super-detailed bug report!

I think this is the same issue that @cadonau identified in #1 with his patch.

I just checked in a fix based on his patch and re-released the Gem as version 0.1.1.

Let me know if that fixes the problem.

[CallumKerson]

No problem, creating bug reports is part my day job, so I am used to providing too much detail! It has fixed the error for me. On to a new world of transcoding!

[lisamelton]

Wow! OK, you're a good man to know then.

On to the new world, indeed. Let me know if you run into any other problems.
