It duplicate: Bluecloth v2.0.10 with windows 7 not working

I tried It is working fine:

If you need 2.2.0 (the latest version), here's how I got it to work:

Install DevKit

Run the command below to install bluecloth:

gem install bluecloth

this will fail miserably when building "native extensions", but will successfully install the gem's source code.

Patch bluecloth.h file (for me, this is found in: D:\ruby\Ruby-1.9.3-p125\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\bluecloth-2.2.0\ext), with the patch from here: https://gist.github.com/1539611

Go to bluecloth's gem installation folder. For me, this looks like below:

D:\ruby\Ruby-1.9.3-p125\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\bluecloth-2.2.0

Run the following command:

rake gem

It may prompt you to install some other gems, follow accordingly. When it's done, you should see a bluecloth-2.2.0.gem created. For me, it is found here:

D:\ruby\Ruby-1.9.3-p125\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\bluecloth-2.2.0\pkg\bluecloth-2.2.0.gem

Go to bluecloth-2.2.0.gem location, and run the following command:

gem install bluecloth-2.2.0.gem --platform=ruby
