I'm not exactly a seasoned veteran of the Rails world, but from what I've seen, I would definitely like to use bootstrap on my Rails projects.
i'm running windows 7 and I'm kind a married to it. I have read everything I can find on this topic and is it just not possible to install bootstrap-rails on windows?
Every time I try to install either therubyracer or libv8 I get fatal errors that I can't resolve.
It won't install twitter-bootstrap-rails because I don't have those other two.

Can someone either tell me how to install bootstrap on my windows box or point me to the information?

I am so frustrated, i've been stuck with this for a few months now.

Give bootstrap-sass a try. This should get around the need to compile the style sheets into less, since they are ported to sass with this project. See Section A for gems to include in your Gemfile.

Try this:

gem install libv8 -- --with-system-v8

Because libv8 is the interface for the V8 engine used by therubyracer, you may need to use libv8, even if you have V8 installed already. If you wish to use your own V8 installation, rather than have it built for you, use the --with-system-v8 option. Source

I'm would never suggest cheating on your operating system, I'm just saying you could dual-boot and she would never know.

Bootstrap-Sass works for me too.
