Failed to install on windows with Ruby-2.2.4 & 2.3.3

[srikanthgurram]

Hi,

I have been trying this for 2 days, but was never successful installing on windows 7

I tried with Ruby-2.2.4 and 2.3.3 as well. However, I do not see any issue with Ruby-1.9.3 & taglib-ruby-0.6.0 on the same machine.

OS: Window-7-x64
Ruby:- rubyinstaller-2.3.3.exe
Ruby- DevKit-mingw64-32-4.7.2-20130224-1151-sfx.exe

c:\certification_test_suite>gem install taglib-ruby --platform ruby

You must have taglib installed in order to use taglib-ruby.

Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libtag1-dev
Fedora/RHEL: sudo yum install taglib-devel
Brew: brew install taglib
MacPorts: sudo port install taglib

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
        --with-opt-lib
        --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
        --with-make-prog
        --without-make-prog
        --srcdir=.
        --curdir
        --ruby=C:/Ruby23/bin/$(RUBY_BASE_NAME)
        --with-tag-dir
        --without-tag-dir
        --with-tag-include
        --without-tag-include=${tag-dir}/include
        --with-tag-lib
        --without-tag-lib=${tag-dir}/lib
        --with-stdc++lib
        --without-stdc++lib
        --with-taglib
        --without-taglib

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

  C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/extensions/x86-mingw32/2.3.0/taglib-ruby-0.7.1/mkmf.log

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/taglib-ruby-0.7.1 for inspection.

Hey. Sorry about that, I don't run Windows anymore and I'm not going to investigate this. Windows is not really friendly to Ruby extensions.

The output shows that it can't find taglib:

checking for main() in -ltag... no

So that's the problem. Not sure how to correctly install it either. I'm gonna close this in favor of #62.
