Perhaps it could be bundled with rubygems 3.1 when it is completed? Also while I''m at it...here''s a thought for the mingw distro: also have an optional barebones version [no rdoc, ri]. and a 1.9 version :) maybe just skip 1.8.7? -- Thanks! -=R

Add a section for dependencies and maybe we''ll have a sweet mingwport install system :) I have noticed that mingw is pretty popular for cross-platform compiles--vlc uses it, git uses it...it seems to not be all that bad, so the move to mingw might have been a good choice :) [of course, I just use it for the speed :) ] re: install difficulties--let me know when a new version goes up or maybe you could create a temporary branch with the necessary patches? Thanks. -=R

Btw, I''m pretty much slowed rubyinstaller development due rake-compiler: (no docs yet, shame on me). http://github.com/luislavena/rake-compiler/ The goal is add native packaging and later cross platform building using mingw32.> re: install difficulties--let me know when a new version goes up or > maybe you could create a temporary branch with the necessary patches? >Cool, planned a hacking session with a colleague this sunday for One-Click, keep you posted. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
