That requires Windows users to download adapter files or install a whole mysql server, pass configuration options to `gem install`, etc.\r\nIt results in complex problems for beginners while installing the gem on a windows machine, which are not solvable for those and are not necessary since it's possible to ship precompiled files.\r\n\r\nThis problem arose in other gems as well and have mostly been sorted out, e.g. for sqlite3 with usage of cross compilers in a VM (see https://github.com/luislavena/sqlite3-ruby/pull/103).\r\n\r\nMight it be possible that you sort issues out too and provide precompiled files for Windows users?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/brianmario/mysql2/issues/comments/69452154","html_url":"https://github.com/brianmario/mysql2/issues/414#issuecomment-69452154","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/brianmario/mysql2/issues/414","id":69452154,"user":{"login":"simi","id":193936,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/193936?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi","html_url":"https://github.com/simi","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/simi/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-10T11:07:48Z","updated_at":"2015-01-10T11:07:48Z","body":"@sodabrew ping me if you will need help."}}
