I am trying to setuip redmine for which I have to install a lot of 'gems'. Well I have no knowledge of ruby on rails or gems or bundler. In the redmine installation doc they have ,mentioned that I use 

bundle install --without development test

to install needed gems. I ran into some problems while installing json due to which I had to install development kit. Now after installing the development kit and adding it to the environment variable (I am trying to install it on windows server ) I followed this . It says that after installing development kit I need to execute the following commands

Unzip the zip

open command-line and go to unzipperd folder

ruby dk.rb init

ruby dk.rb install

gem install rdiscount --platform=ruby

However while installing rdiscount I am getting the following error

enter image description here

What exactly am I missing?

  • I would suggest to move to Linux Environment. Windows is never recommended for Rails. :) – Ajay Jan 28 '15 at 07:27

rdiscount is broken for windows. Check this issue: https://github.com/davidfstr/rdiscount/issues/74

On win7 32bit using either mingw gcc 4.6.2 or mingw-w64 gcc 4.7.2 I get gem build failures due to the use of the DWORD macro.

The DWORD, WORD, and BYTE macros are known windows data types. Their unfortunate re-use in discount/rdiscount causes problems with the mingw/mingw-w64 headers as in the following failure:
