Ruby seems to be cross-compiler incompatible

Hi,

Anybody got Ruby to compile with a Linux to mingw32 cross compiler?

It is fairly easy.
On my system (Debian unstable) I just had to edit the configure script
to remove the setpgrp test(*) and run
  ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc
  make
  
(*) otherwise you'd get
checking whether setpgrp takes no argument... configure: error: cannot
check setpgrp when cross compiling

Thanks.

What's with the i586-mingw32msvc? I'm using i386-mingw32.... I don't understand what msvc has to do with it.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
