win32utils devel - Apr 2008 - win32-api (1.0.5) on Ruby 1.8.6 Mingw

When trying to compile the win32-api gem on ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03
patchlevel 114) [i386-mingw32], I get the following error:

gcc -shared -s -o api.so api.o -L"."
-L"C:/ruby/ruby_mingw/lib" -L.
-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base,--enable-auto-import,--export-all
-lmsvcrt-ruby18  -lws2_32
api.o: In function `api_init'':
C:/ruby/ruby_mingw/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-api-1.0.5/ext/win32/api.c:201:
undefined reference to `_tcscmp''
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [api.so] Error 1

Here''s the relevant code from api.c (lines 200 - 204)

  /* The order of ''A'' and ''W'' is reversed if
$KCODE is set to ''UTF8''. */
  if(!_tcscmp(rb_get_kcode(), "UTF8")){
     first  = "W";
     second = "A";
  }

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gordon

Yeah, I got a little overzealous with the TCHAR stuff there. Just change 
"_tcscmp" to "strcmp" and rebuild. I think I''ve
already made this change
in CVS, since we know $KCODE is always ASCII.
