Windows fat binary broken on 1.2.8

[jmthomas]

I installed thin via gem install thin which installed thin-1.2.8-x86-mingw32. Then when I tried to start rails via rails server thin I crashed on line 48 in thin.rb: require "#{Thin::ROOT}/#{$1}/thin_parser" When I investigated the gem there is no 1.9 directory under the thin lib directory. I removed the #{$1}/ from the path but it still crashes because it can't find thin_parser.so but that DOES exist under lib.

I noticed in version 1.2.8 the 1.8 and 1.9 directories do exist so I manually copied them over to my 1.2.9 directory and now it starts.

Note that I have ruby 1.9.2 installed using the RubyInstaller and the DevKit.

When I install this way it works:
gem install thin --platform=ruby

This way does not create the 1.8 / 1.9 directories under lib but instead uses the DevKit to build the native extensions.

Can you try this one: https://macournoyer.s3.amazonaws.com/thin-1.2.8-x86-mingw32.gem. I'll make a new release if it works.

Works like a champ, thanks for the quick turnaround!

Thin is the only practical production server option on Windows so having a working fat binary is especially useful. I'm running it against eventmachine 1.0.0.beta.3 with good results.

Thank you!! Yes thin is the best server on Windows...I've had problems with all the other free ones.
