I cannot create Ruby 1.9 on Windows for snapshots starting January 2007. For older snapshots I have a working envoironment and procedure...
I tried it again today - and it works :-))
The snapshot I used is from yesterday and the MSYS/MinGW environment is not the newest one. I deleted the "win32ole" subdirectory before I started (there were several Problems related to it in the past).
I don't know if changes in the snapshot or changes of the environment made the difference, but now it works.
Here are the detailed steps for your information:
* MinGW-5.0.2.exe installed
* MSYS-1.0.10.exe installed
* msysDTK-1.0.1.exe installed
* bison-2.0-MSYS.tar.gz, msys-autoconf-2.59.tar.bz2, and
msys-automake-1.8.2.tar.bz2 copied to the "msys" directory
* start MSYS Prompt:
o cd /
o tar -jxf msys-automake-1.8.2.tar.bz2
o tar -jxf msys-autoconf-2.59.tar.bz2
o tar -zxf bison-2.0-MSYS.tar.gz
* ruby-1.8.6-i386-mswin32.zip to users home extracted
* actual Ruby snapshot snapshot.tar.gz copied to users home
* start MSYS Prompt:
o tar xzvf snapshot.tar.gz
* directory \home\<user>\ruby\ext\win32ole deleted.
* start MSYS Prompt:
o cd ruby
o autoconf
o mkdir build
o cd build
o ../configure --with-baseruby=/home/wolfgang/ruby-1.8.6/bin/ruby.exe --prefix=/ruby19 --program-suffix=19
o make
o make test (several errors)
o make install-nodoc (problems with 128 MB to generate doc)
