Yeah, i got the same issue, any idea?

#3

Not exactly as in this old post:

'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

So this guy had no make installed at all. Your Linux instalation, @LautaroLobo12, seems to have no gcc configured (path?).

Try installing the Ruby DevKit https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

Hey there! Sorry to hear you’re having trouble installing Middleman on your Windows 10 machine. It seems like there might be an issue with the “make” command, which is used to build native extensions. One possible solution could be to install the DevKit for Ruby, which provides the necessary tools for building native extensions on Windows. You can find instructions for installing the DevKit on the RubyInstaller website. Another option could be to try using a different version of Ruby, as some users have reported success with different versions. Also, have any of you tried searching for solutions on Windows 10 key Reddit? I recently discovered it and found some helpful tips there. Hope this helps!
