I want to serve my pages using Mongrel and Apache. When trying to
install fastthread-1.0.1 I get the following error message:
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: While executing gem … (RuntimeError)
Error instaling fastthread:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
ruby extconf.rb install fastthread
–source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases
creating Makefile
nmake
‘nmake’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Is there a workaround?
try updating gems, then installing mongrel
gem update --system

you don’t have nmake in your path. nor do you have cl.exe
download and install the .net framework sdk

don’t install the documentation nor the samples, they are too big anyway
then add this to your path “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\bin”
with any luck it still won’t work. just like for me 
it will give
other cryptic errors
i think you need mingw and msys to compile not VS
can anyone confirm this

Interesting.
For me when I install mongrel it doesn’t even have fastthread as a
dependency.
I can confirm that fastthread builds fine with mingw and msys (ex: this

Programming gone awry: ruby 1.9 one click installer)
