To build my Github’s page, I forked jekyll-uno. It’s easy to write posts with markdown and is integrated with Github Pages [name.github.io].
During installation, I have encountered some issues, which extremely frustrating and take much time to find out what is wrong.
- To make jekyll run locally, I must install all gem locally, which end up with some strange error, that libxml2 could not be found on my mac
$ bundle install --path vendor/bundle
Using i18n 0.7.0
Using json 1.8.3
...
Using nokogiri-1.6.7.5
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
libxml2 is missing. Please locate mkmf.log to investigate how it is failing.
I use brew, so the solution is
$ bundle install
brew install libxml2 libxslt
brew link libxml2 libxslt --force
bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/include/libxml2 --with-xml2-lib=/usr/lib/
bundle install
- The first time I tried to run locally, I got hit with the following:
$ gem install jekyll-paginate
$ jekyll serve --watch
It looks like you don't have jekyll-paginate....
==> jekyll did not come up with some incorrect versions installed
$ bundle update
$ bundle exec jekyll serve --watch
==> It works
