For me - setting the proxies didn't work (and downloading the jar was unsatisfactory)
I got:
- the wget binary, and
- the wget dependencies
and put them on my PATH - ie h:\util
contains:
wget.exe
libssl32.dll
libintl3.dll
libiconv2.dll
libeay32.dll
(where H:\util
was already on my path. )
and then got a new terminal cmd.exe
- and then lein self-install
worked.
Assumptions:
- Downloading the jar was unsatisfactory because the point of
lein
is to be a dependency manager (like maven). You need to keep downloading stuff. If you manually download the first jar - then when you add some more jar dependencies to your project you'll have to manually download those as well. Might as well chuck out lein and go back to doing things on the Java classpath. - In my view - in a windows environment proxy settings should be automatically detected. Lein can't do this (yet) - but the
wget
version I downloaded could. So you solve the problem of needing to explicitly specify the proxy. (In addition - manually setting the proxy just didn't work for me)
