There is no pre-compiled binaries for Windows platform. See issue:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=7436&aid=16774&group_id=1900

But Rocky just provided one. You might help with testing it by downloading it from:

http://bashdb.sf.net/ruby-debug-base-0.10.0-mswin32.gem

If it works for you let Rocky know about it in the mentioned issue. Will help with earlier propagation.

Hi,

that didn't help. I'm not suprised as I would not expect ruby gems to install nmake.

I notice that the gem update used a lot of 'rm -rf' commands which are pointless on windows systems unless you happen to have cygwin (or similar) installed.

Thanks,

Sander

gem update --system

Hi,

I need to install the latest version so I can use Netbeans. Unfortunately it seems I need nmake (and who knows what else) to install this on windows:

C:\Documents and Settings\sander\My Documents\DD\ruby>gem install ruby-debug-ide
--no-rdoc --no-ri --include-dependencies
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install ruby-debug-ide --no-rdoc --no-ri --include-dependencies
creating Makefile

nmake
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


Gem files will remain installed in c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-bas
e-0.10.0 for inspection.
Results logged to c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-base-0.10.0/ext/gem_
make.out

C:\Documents and Settings\sander\My Documents\DD\ruby>

Any suggestions?

Prior versions installed fine.

Thanks,

Sander
