Ruby on Rails RMagick on Windows 7

Question

Alright, I\'ve been trying to install Rmagick on a Windows 7 x64 machine pretty much all day. I\'ve checked out every single tutorial on Stack Overflow and other sites, but

Answer 1

This above post did not work for me, the key for me was using GitBash wich comes with RailsInstaller, and also includes Devkit.

Install railsinstaller -> www.railsinstaller.org (I installed it to c:\Rails)
Install ImageMagick -> ImageMagick-6.7.3-8-Q16-windows-dll.exe (I installed it to c:\ImageMagick)

Open GitBash

$ gem install rmagick --platform=ruby -- --with-opt-lib=c:/ImageMagick/lib --with-opt-include=c:/ImageMagick/include

Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed rmagick-2.13.1

Installing ri documentation for rmagick-2.13.1...
Installing RDoc documentation for rmagick-2.13.1...

Also, in the gemfile I have commented out gem 'rmagick' in the development group

This is what my gemfile looks like

group :development do #this is used on localhost
 gem 'mysql2'
 gem 'paperclip'
 #gem 'rmagick' #dont need this
 gem 'devise'
end

group :production do #this is used on heroku
 gem "pg" #this is postgresql used on heroku
 gem "aws-s3" #this is used for amason S3 filestorage

 gem 'paperclip'
 gem 'rmagick'
 gem 'devise'
end
