sqlite3-ruby gem: Failed to build gem native extension

Question

Update: Check out this follow-up question: Gem Update on Windows - is it broken?

---

On Windows, when I do this:

gem install sqlit         


        

Answer 1

first from sqlite.org(http://www.sqlite.org/download.html)
download ->
Precompiled Binaries: sqlite-dll-win32-x86-3071700.zip
and Source Code: sqlite-autoconf-3071700.tar.gz
then extract as:

-include
    --sqlite3.h
    --sqlite3ext.h
-lib
    --shell.c
    --sqlite3.c
    --sqlite3.def
    --sqlite3.dll

last install gem like:

gem install sqlite3 --platform=ruby -- --with-sqlite3-include=path\to\include  
 --with-sqlite3-lib=path\to\lib --no-ri --no-rdoc

Good luck!
