install jekyll in windows7

Question

env: windows 7-64bit DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx ruby200-64

I already install devkit and ruby. then I run gem install jekyll

looks like something wrong in ruby.h

it has some errors like follows:

ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Answer 1

Another issue I encountered here is using Ruby2.00 which seems not an idea version. The version worked for me is:

1. Ruby 1.9.3-p448
2. DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx.exe

Basically it's just the version issue, other than that , just follow articles you can search around.

Answer 2

Your Ruby is Ruby200-x64, which is 64-bit, so please download the 64-bit DevKit to match your Ruby.

The latest 64-bit DevKit is DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe, which can be found here, while currently yours is 32-bit DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx.

Did you notice the difference? Yours is mingw64-32, but you need mingw64-64.
