Oh well, that means only good luck can come now.
Thanks!

Excellent! But what happened to win32ole? What exactly do you mean by
spurious?
Thanks! 
As always, your work is greatly appreciated!

Hi Andrew, I was wondering if you can list what I need to be able to compile
any official release of Ruby with its extension on Windows?
I’d like to know what compilers and libaries do I need to compile it
smoothly.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nice haiku /\ndy
After inhuman efforts
Comes email support
Let me just add my thanks to everyone else’s for making Ruby such a joy
to use on Windows.
Eclipse with the Ruby plugin and the PragRubyBook - programming is once
again a joy
Cheers,

A newer version is included as part of the main Ruby distribution; the
one I explicitly included was a rev or two out of date. So it was
spurious. Or maybe superfluous. Just plain wrong, at any rate.
Enjoy,

Hmm. I probably should at least put that on my TODO list
Are there any volunteers who would be interested in helping?
(please e-mail directly so as not to spam the list)

I’m using Microsoft (ugh) VC++, with all the libraries and products that
each extension requires.
I don’t have a full list of required libraries at hand, but will when I
post the source to the builder on Sourceforge.

Hi you can also try Mingw+msys
All available from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml
MinGW-3.0.0-rc2.exe 12.8 MB
msysDTK-1.0.1.exe 9.8 MB =optional=
MSYS-1.0.8.exe 2.8 MB
I’ve used the one click installer but I wanted to fly by myself 
so… Download Mingw+msys install, configure(easy) extract the ruby
sources and ./configure $$ make && make install and you get the ruby
binaries, compiling other libraries it’s usually as easy, as long as
you get the dependencies (sources,libs) but you could usually
fullfill those on GnuWin download | SourceForge.net I’ve
compiled many of the 1click installer on mingw(not all haven’t
need’em,but other not included like eruby). So here’s an option, the
advantage it’s that it feels like a linux/*nix system(mostly)
Hope it helps! and thanks /\ndy, you gave me my very first
ruby(compiled)
As Matz will point out, that is the point
Now if I could just get a good vi plugin for Eclipse…

I’ve already built and installed from source.
If I run the one-click installer, am I’m regressing to older versions of some libraries?
I was assuming that it made sense to run your installer, because there might be updates to some of the other packages you include.
So, I guess the real questions are:
- Am I gaining anything by running the windows installer, given that I’ve installed from source?
- If so, should I re-run the install from source afterwards, or is that unnecessary?
Cheers,
Harry O.

If you do, please mention it on the list. I’m so used to vim that I could never move to one of those fancy IDEs without such a plugin!

If you’ve built the Ruby interpreter and all the libraries and
extensions you need from source, then you don’t need the Windows
Installer.
It’s purpose in life is to provide a binary distribution for those who
don’t have the ability or patience to compile all those bits and pieces
for themselves.
If I run the one-click installer, am I’m regressing to older versions of some libraries?
Hopefully not, but quite possibly.
Best regards,

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I didn’t build any extensions, just what came in the source tar ball.
Does that change your answer?

Does the Windows build support iconv?

Then unless you’ve built the interpreter differently from the what the
stock Makefile does, it might be easier to start with the Installer
release and then optionally compile any additional extensions you need
that I don’t provide, or that are out of date.

I don’t believe so (that is, I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary
to include it; if it is provided as part of the 1.8 build by default
then it’s in there).
