How to tell bundler to use installed mswin32 version of a gem?

Question

I did the:

gem install hpricot --platform=mswin32

It's correctly listed when I do gem list:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

abstract (1.0.0)
actionmailer (3.0.0)
actionpack (3.0.0)

treetop (1.4.8)
tzinfo (0.3.23)

But bundle install still tries to install and compile a version with native extentions:

Installing hpricot (0.8.2) with native extensions C:/Documents and Settings/matt/.pik/rubies/Ruby-192dev-preview3-1/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/insta
ller.rb:483:in `rescue in block in build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem
 native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

How to tell it to use the mswin32 one?

Answer 1

You just need add option :platforms => :mswin

gem 'hpricot', :platforms => :mswin
