Pre-built binary gem for Windows?

[Thomas Thomassen]

The readme says:

If you're on windows then a prebuilt binary gem is available.

 
But where do I locate this pre-built gem? (n00b alert)

[rogerdpack]

I haven't built anything for a prebuilt gem in ages...hmm...I think for now, just install the devkit to build your own, I'll update the readme unless there is some disagreeance...

[Thomas Thomassen]

The reason I ask is that I need both 32bit and 64bit under Windows. But I found problems having both dev kits installed. I could only seem to build for the devkit version I last installed - even though I made sure during the setup step to make 64bit devkit setup only 64bit Ruby and vice versa for 32bit.

Also, if there was one location where on could download pre-built binaries I could create a deployment script that would fetch and install.

I should note that I develop Ruby extensions for SketchUp - which has a built in Ruby interpreter. While I can manage to build (eventually) users of my extensions won't have DevKit set up on their machine.

Maybe ask the rubyinstaller guys about the devkit difficulties [theoretically it should be possible...]
One option is to build rubyprof "locally" then just build locally then create a zip file of the [pre built] gem folder and then distribute that [?]
I'm a little bit afraid of trying to do prebuilt binaries since apparently we'd have to have one for ruby 2.0 and a different for 2.1 so that's at least 4 bundled builds...

[Thomas Thomassen]

I did ask around and it should work. So it's probably me that screwed up something.

I am looking at bundling the gem as a fallback solution.

[Roger Pack]

OK any other followers feel free to chime in here, I guess I just haven't done precompiled in so longer [it no longer being absolutely necessary thanks to the devkit] I'm a bit reluctant to start again...
