any luck on solving this problem, i'm getting the same
Found the solution, it's not proxylocal's error, it's bert's error. To install on windows, follow the steps:
git clone https://github.com/mojombo/bert.git
it will download bert gem in bert folder. open file: bert->ext->bert->c->decode.c replace following header declaration:
#include <stdint.h> //linux header file
#include <netinet/in.h> //linux header file
with
#ifdef _WIN32_ // it it's a windows platform, include windows headers
#include <winsock2.h> //windows headers
#include <windows.h> //windows headers
#else // else include linux headers
#include <stdint.h> //linux header file
#include <netinet/in.h> //linux header file
#endif
now build and install bert:
gem build bert.gemspec
gem install bert.-X.X.X.gem
now it (bert) will be successfully installed. Now install the proxylocal and run it (in a new cmd):
gem install proxylocal
proxylocal 3000 --host testserver
now open url: http://testserver.t.proxylocal.com/
and it will be displaying your local webserver's content
@thelakshya actually you should be able to check if _WIN32
is defined and use that to load the right headers, not removal of the other code.
That way, your fix can be incorporated into the gem and everybody benefit, while your current approach just breaks it for anybody else that is not using Windows.
Agree, I updated my solution, after testing it. Thanks for correcting me!!
thanks @thelakshya! you saved my life!
@luislavena thanks to you too for correcting the _WIN32
constant
Just a quick note in the example you have WIN32 it needs to be _WIN32 to work. Just incase others have this issue. Cheers for the fix!
@Zaylril - Thanks. I needed that little adjustment to make it work.
Great job @thelakshya +1 for the fix
When I try to install proxylocal on Windows 7 (also 8) I get this error
