i386-mingw32 is not supported

😞

Could not find an appropriate PhantomJS library for your platform (i386-mingw32 :( Please install manually. (Phantomjs::UnknownPlatform)

Same problem here :(

This gem takes advantage of a number of features commonly available on unix-based systems, so adding general support for an aberrant system like Windows would require a significant overhaul.

However, supporting Windows with a reasonable mingw install might be possible with small changes.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything running Windows. @colszowka might, but I doubt it.

I think support for Windows (with or without mingw) would be great, but it will likely require someone that actually has a computer running Windows to implement it.

Fyi, according to this page there's already a precompiled executable available for windows; you don't need to install PhantomJS as a Gem.

Just submitted PR #23 for this if you want to try it.

This is fixed in the latest release (thanks go to @slumos). The new version (1.9.2.1) is up on rubygems.org.

I am getting same error on phantomjs-1.9.7.0 :( Any Pointers?

My OS (JRuby running on Windows 7 Pro installed dual-boot on a Mac laptop) is returning different strings than those that are being checked against in @slumos patch. This dirty hack got me past this hurdle (I'll look at turning it into a PR with proper tests when I have some extra minutes - if it makes sense to do so)

module Phantomjs
  class Platform
    class Win32 < Platform
      class << self
        def useable?
          ['mingw32', 'mswin32'].include?(host_os) and ['i686', 'x86_64'].include?(architecture)
        end
      end
    end
  end
end
