Windows Fat-Binary Gem with support for 1.8 and 2.0

[tjschuck]

Version 3.1.1 removed support for Ruby 1.8 from the Windows binary version of the gem because of issues with rake-compiler.

Once tjschuck/rake-compiler-dev-box#2 lands, I will build a new version that supports 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0.

Hi there (i hope this is the correct place to post this),

I just ran a gem install and this is what i get:

gem install bcrypt-ruby Successfully installed bcrypt-ruby-3.1.1-x86-mingw32 Parsing documentation for bcrypt-ruby-3.1.1-x86-mingw32 unable to convert "\x90" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/bcrypt_ext.so, skippin g 1 gem installed.

Can you advise as to steps that i can take to resolve this issue?
Im on windows 7, 32bit machine

@tjschuck ruby 2.0.0p247

[tjschuck]

@mulaiko I just pushed an RC version of the gem that should hopefully fix your issue. Can you please try to install version 3.1.2.rc1 and let me know if it succeeds or not? If it works, I will bump to 3.1.2 officially.

In your Gemfile, gem "bcrypt-ruby", "3.1.2.rc1", or standalone, just gem install bcrypt-ruby -v 3.1.2.rc1.

Thank you for your help!

I had the same problem, and it worked once I manually installed the 3.1.2.rc1 version and then replaced bcrypt_ext.so in {RUBY_DIR}\lib\ruby\gems\2.0.0\gems\bcrypt-ruby-3.1.1-x86-mingw32\lib with the one in the 3.1.2.rc1 installation folder.

I thinks it is therefore safe to move to 3.1.2, @tjschuck

Thanks :)

@mulaiko @cipacda Thanks for your help -- version 3.1.2 final is now up on RubyGems.

[dreamerzfly]

@tjschuck: I added gem install bcrypt-ruby -v 3.1.2.rc1 to my gem file, then ran a bundle update and started rails server. however I'm still getting this error

can't activate bcrypt-ruby (~> 3.0.0), already activated bcrypt-ruby-3.1.2.rc1-x86-mingw32. Make sure all dependencies are added to Gemfile

I'm on Windows 8, with Rails 4.0.0 Ruby 2.0.0.

Thanks!

[tjschuck]

@dreamerzfly Try uninstalling the gem first (gem uninstall bcrypt-ruby, and uninstall all versions).

Then, in your Gemfile, add the line gem 'bcrypt-ruby', '~> 3.1.2', making sure you don't have any other line also loading bcrypt -- if you do, remove those lines. Then bundle install, and you should be good to go.

I have the exact same setup as @dreamerzfly and I am getting the same error

 Gem::LoadError:
   can't activate bcrypt-ruby (~> 3.0.0), already activated bcrypt-ruby-3.1.2-x86-mingw32. Make sure all dependencies are added to Gemfile.

The above fix does nothing to help :/

Please help ... I have tried everything :/

Shot man. Seems to have sorted out my issue after testing :)

I was trying to install "bcrypt-ruby" on Windows 8, 64 bit .

Tried a lot of configurations, ranging from different versions of the gem, direct from git, platform ruby etc.

But nothing worked

At the end installed DEVKIT compatible to my ruby version and thats it.

Steps

Install Devkit compatible to your ruby version

Link : http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

Download under

C:/Ruby Folder/devkit

Then on command line go to above path

C:/Ruby Folder/devkit

then say

gem install bcrypt-ruby

This should install it,

Post this, you need to add the gem to your Gemfile and say

bundle install
bundle update
bundle install

This should work fine. Also solves update issues related to active_record etc.

The same should work for WIN 64, WIN 32 also.
