Hello,

Finally i've could install fcgi and ruby-fcgi on Windows-Xp.

The command to do it was:

gem install fcgi -- --with-opt-dir=c:\fcgi --remote

or

gem install ruby-fcgi -- --with-opt-dir=c:\fcgi --remote

Where c:\fcgi is the Fastcgi-development-kit installation directory.

Thanks to all for your help.

Javier Abaroa.

Wow for some reason I'm not able to even *build* the fcgi library using
mingw. Where did you get those binaries? Did you compile them youself?

It appears that fcgi on windows is pretty rare [1]

You might get some traction with

gem install ruby-fcgi -- --with-opt-dir=/fcgi --remote

or

gem install ruby-fcgi -- --with-opt-dir=c:/fcgi --remote

if you're using mingw.

Hi,

To use fcgi on Windows, you have to take next steps to install:

1) Download an install Fastcgi-development-kit from www.fastcgi.com,
i've installed it in C:/fcgi directory.(Last version is
fcgi-2.4.0.tar.tar).

2) Download last version of mod_fcgid.so and fcgi.so module from
"Download - The Apache HTTP Server Project; and put it on apache/modules
directory. (Last version is mod_fcgid-2.3.5-win32-x86.zip).

3) install the fcgi gem from www.rubyforge.org or www.rubygems.org with
gem install procedure (You need the --with-opt-dir directive to fcgi
installation directory for the procedure work.)

I don't know if Mingw install procedure is different. I have installed
Mingw (and Msys also) and also Cygwin, but i don't use them too much,
because i always work better with Windows.

I use WSDK for Windows 7 and Netframework 3.5 to compile sources, but i
think in Windows is better to download binaries from some
web-site.Generally source-compilation ends with a lot of errors.Is
difficult not to miss any header file and i think the effort dont's
whorty (I've really tried it so hard, but at last ¡i give up!, ¡dammned
Windows!.).
