Problems installing Thin on windows 7 x86

I'm having problems getting thin working on my Windows 7 machine (I've already installed eventmachine v0.8.1):

>gem install thin --ignore-dependencies
checking for main() in -lc... no
creating Makefile

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

Are there not meant to be precompiled binaries available for thin?

Solution

  • Apparently, there aren't any pre-built binaries.

    You will need a C compiler installed. If you installed Ruby via the RubyInstaller, that is going to be really easy, if you used the One-Click Installer, it's goint to be a PITA.
