Problems installing Thin on windows 7 x86

I am having problems getting thin working on my windows 7 machine (I already installed eventmachine v0.8.1):

>

gem install thin --ignore-dependencies
check on main () in -lc ... no
create Makefile

make
"make" not recognized as an internal or external command, operating program, or batch file.

Shouldn't there be precompiled binaries available for thin?

Apparently there are no binaries ready.

You will need a C compiler. If you installed Ruby via RubyInstaller it will be very easy, if you used the One-Click Install installer it should be PITA.



See also: Problems Installing Thin on Windows , which contains an answer with a supporting RubyInstaller and One-Click Installer.

I worked on missing precompiled binaries by installing the compiler:

  • I installed MinGW to C: \ MinGW (see here for installation instructions)
  • Then I installed MSYS to C: \ msys \ 1.0
  • Then I added c: \ MinGW \ bin and C: \ msys \ 1.0 \ bin to my% PATH%
  • Finally, I ran gem install thin

    and, surprisingly, it all worked!


I hope this helps some other bad Windows Ruby developer! :-)

There are actually pre-built binaries for certain Thin versions, but you need to know which ones. To get the latest built-in win32, follow these steps:

  • Go to RubyGems Thin Page
  • See the Versions section for the x86-mswin32 version to the right of it. (As of today, versions 1.2.11, 1.2.10 etc. have win32 binaries)
  • Run the following "gem install" command with the Thin version included in the "-v" flag:

gem install thin -v 1.2.11

Here are the results from my setup:

c: \> gem install thin -v 1.2.11
Successfully installed thin-1.2.11-x86-mswin32
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for thin-1.2.11-x86-mswin32 ... 
Updating ri class cache with 3611 classes ... 
Installing RDoc documentation for thin-1.2.11-x86-mswin32 ...

The binary for thin is actually available (and apparently it has been since 1.2.2).

However, I was unable to install thin on Windows 7 with Ruby 1.9.2 (p290) due to its dependency on EventMachine.

Launching gem install thin --ignore-dependencies

is what it takes to install the thinnest.

Just wanted to add this note for another ruby ​​per windows user.
