Unable to compile gem on Windows

[coding-bunny]

When I try to install the gem using rubygems it works without problems. I receive problems however when I download the source from github and try to run setup.rb

This is the output from the command:

C:\Source\git\mongrel>setup.rb ---> bin <--- bin ---> lib ---> lib/mongrel <--- lib/mongrel <--- lib ---> ext ---> ext/http11 C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe C:/Source/git/mongrel/ext/http11/extconf.rb checking for main() in -lc... no creating Makefile ---> ext/http11/org ---> ext/http11/org/jruby ---> ext/http11/org/jruby/mongrel <--- ext/http11/org/jruby/mongrel <--- ext/http11/org/jruby <--- ext/http11/org <--- ext/http11 <--- ext ---> bin <--- bin ---> lib ---> lib/mongrel <--- lib/mongrel <--- lib ---> ext ---> ext/http11 make make: *\ Er is geen regel om doel '/C/Ruby/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby.h' te maken, nodig voor 'http11.o'.

Hello,

Dunno what is your toolchain/version of Ruby or if you're using RubyInstaller + the DevKit or not.

So will be a shoot in the dark, did you see this page:

https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Troubleshooting#ruby_h

[coding-bunny]

I have the DevKit installed for ruby, as well as a complete msys/minGW toolchain for compiling native C/C++ extensions for the Ruby on Rails gems.

I can run following commands from the commandline without trouble : make, gcc, g++ So the toolchain is properly configured. I will look a bit further, as I have a feeling it's related to the paths beeing generated with make in Windows.

[luislavena]

Please note that setup.rb will install into Ruby site_ruby directory.

Have you tried the following?

• Open a new command prompt
• Invoke devkitvars from the DevKit installation
• cd into mongrel source code
• do rake compile

Please let me know the results of that.

[luislavena]

BTW, there is a pre-release version of mongrel that is already compiled for Ruby 1.8 and 1.9

The issue appeared to be a path conflict in Windows. Sorted it now and compiles like a charm.
