Ruby Calnder plugin

New day new problem.

I installed a ruby on rails calendar plugin. Install worked fine. One of the install steps was to run

rake rdoc

This gave me the following problem
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- hoe
C:/dev/ruby/timesheet/vendor/plugins/calendar_helper/rakefile:4
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Hoe it turns out is a simple ruby project for helping with rakefiles. To install Hoe

gem install hoe
(no need for sudo since I'm on windows)

Now rake rdoc gives me
rake aborted!
couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding `~/.hoerc'
C:/dev/ruby/timesheet/vendor/plugins/calendar_helper/rakefile:7:in `new'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

This was because I was running on Windows not unix. Setting HOME environment helps this

set HOME=%HOMEPATH%

Now the problem is
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'README'

This as it turns out was a problem with the rakefile. It referred to a non-existant file 'README ' in the plugin. There was however a Readme.txt file. Updating the Rakefile to refer to this finally fixed the issues.
