bundle install fails due to missing make command

I'm attempting to run "bundle install". I've already installed the Ruby devkit and have it added to my path. It complains about make not being a recognized command. Isn't that what devkit is supposed to add? When searching for answers to this issue, every answer seems to be "install devkit". I'm on Windows 7, what would be the easiest way to configure my environment to allow it to build gems?

I receive the following output:

You need to make sure you have gcc/g++ and make installed. Ruby is built on C so you will need the C compiler (which uses make) to ensure everything is running properly.

EDIT: NOTE: Steps below are for linux and I only took the time to answer this because it came up on google as the first response and I though it might help someone else. The windows answer is already given and already selected as the right one.

===

I got the same problem in linux when trying to install rails after installing ruby.

When I installed ruby one of the dependencies is gcc which would make you think make is installed as well.

Just go ahead and install make: sudo apt-get install make or if you are like me and don't want to run into issues again just run: sudo apt-get install build-essential to cover it all :)

I encountered same issue.

After struggling for a while, I rebooted the Windows and problems were solved magically.

The issue was I installed devkit in something other than the Windows Command Prompt. Make sure you use that. If you already tried to install it with something else, run:

ruby dk.rb install --force
