I'm trying to run bundle install for a Ruby on Rails project in Windows 7 64 bits, but I'm not able to do it because of the therubyracer gem. I developed it in Ubuntu, but I'll need to run it as production in a Windows 7 computer.
After searching, I found that I should use this gem here: https://github.com/eakmotion/therubyracer_for_windows/blob/master . It seems to have installed the therubyracer-0.11.0beta1-x86-mingw32 in my gems. I have also installed the libv8 using gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.7' -- --with-system-v8, as suggested in gem install libv8 --version '3.11.8.17' on ruby (windows)
However, even after I follow the installation instructions of that gem the bundle install still try to install the therubyracer gem (version 0.12.1). So, my question is: how can I run bundle install using the therubyracer gem I manually installed?
Versions: ruby 2.1.5, rails 4.1.8, installed using Rails Installer http://www.railsinstaller.org/en
Relevant lines of the Gemfile:
gem "therubyracer"
gem "less-rails"
gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails"
If I exchange "therubyracer" for "therubyracer_for_windows", I get an error message Could not find gem 'therubyracer_for_windows (>= 0) ruby' in the gems available on this machine. when I try to do a bundle install.
The error message for bundle install:
