ruby-debug in Windows Vista

rubyonrails-talk

Hi

I have run Rails on Linux til now but now I have to use Vista. I use InstantRails 1.7 but when I try to install the ruby-debug gem it says that it misses an nmake program. Does anyone know what this is and how to solve it?

Many thanks in advance

gem install ruby-debug -v 0.9.3

0.10.0 doesn't build correctly on windows, 0.9.3 comes with a precompiled binary.

Please see instructions I posted on my blog for building this native extension at Amitava's Technical Diary: gem install ruby-debug fails in windows

Many thanks to both of you. This is why I love Ruby and Rails.
