如何处理Windows上gem中失败的本机扩展生成?

我下载的几个Rails应用程序都有依赖关系 bson_ext 似乎是一个本机代码库。当我跑的时候 rake gems:install 对于该应用程序,我收到以下错误消息:

ERROR:  Error installing bson_ext:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in d:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/bson_ext-1.0.1 for inspection.
Results logged to d:/Ruby187/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/bson_ext-1.0.1/ext/cbson/gem_make.out

我的问题是:

1. 我的rails应用程序会因此失败吗?我想我知道答案了?

2. 如果我需要构建这个gem,我可以在windows上实现吗?

3. 如果可以在Windows上构建,我需要什么工具链?海湾合作委员会?

4. 我应该放弃Windows来开发Rails而改用Mac或Linux虚拟机吗?
