Hi,
I am trying to build ruby-xslt on Windows XP. The first step is to run
ruby extconf.rb
which fails. mkmf.log contains the following which can't work on my system since there is no cl in my path; I assume that's because I don't have MS Visual Studio. I had installed MinGW and MSYS hoping that that would allow me to build ruby-xslt with gcc and friends. Is there a way to get mkmf to use gcc instead of cl when running its config tests?
Thanks,
Terry
