There is no problem with previous versions, e.g. 1.0.0.

• Ruby ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22) [i386-mingw32]
• RubyGems 2.3.0
• Windows 7 x64

The same error existed in 0.3.0

[ZaDarkSide]

9 months passed since this issue was posted and I'm getting the same error now in 2016, any solution for this yet?

[ZaDarkSide]

OK, studied the problem a little and the solution is already merged in, modify ext/escape_utils/buffer.h and add manually this patch https://github.com/brianmario/escape_utils/pull/62/files after that run gem spec ../../cache/escape_utils-1.1.0.gem --ruby > ../../specifications/escape_utils-1.1.0.gemspec until the new version is released and really fixes the problem.

I was getting the same error when trying to install another Gem that uses this gem; my output:

At the suggestion of @ZaDarkSide, I modified _ext/escapeutils/buffer.h and then ran the following:

Note that C:\Ruby\DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx is the directory where I installed the Ruby DevKit.

After the above, I was able to install the gem that uses this gem without error.

[kenny-evitt]

@ZaDarkSide A new version of _escapeutils is available on RubyGems.org. I asked the owner to publish a new version and he was gracious enough to do so a few days ago.

[ZaDarkSide]

Thank you very much for announcing it @kenny-evitt, the people running Ruby on Windows and using this extension are happy now :+1:

The issue can be closed now

[kenny-evitt]

@grv87 This should be fixed; a new version of the gem is available.

[grv87]

Can't test since I have another error during install.

@ZaDarkSide confirms fix, so I'm closing this issue.
