Gem won't install on windows?

[richardgill]

This seems to be for a combination of problems. This includes lack of the commands tar and patch. It then tries to run a ./configure, which also doesn't work on windows. Is it possible to make it run on windows? Or am I missing something?

I'm having trouble installing this under windows as well though the errror isn't on the same command.

This might work under cygwin, but install depends on patch, tar, make, gcc, and probably two or three other unix commands.

I don't plan on adding windows support (I don't know if zkc even supports it). If someone were willing to step up and do the work to get it to build, and be willing to maintain that code, I'd be open to merging it.

OTOH the jruby gem has zero native dependencies
