I seem to have mostly figured out my problem. I was able to update most
of my precompiled gems on my Windows
install by passing "mswin32" to the --platform option. Clearly, this
does not jive with the help which implies that the
format of the --platform argument should be #{cpu}-#{os}-#{version}.
The only gem I was unable to update was "fastthread" which attempts to
compile no matter what I pass it.
All of my other gems update correctly.
Is there a way to force the platform globally (via an env. var. or
something) so I don't have to remember to specify "--platform mswin32"
on future updates?
Below is "gem env" output followed by a failed attempt to update one gem
(with no --platform setting) and a successful attempt to update the same
gem (with --platform mswin32).
Thanks,
Wes
