Hi It looks like the MingW setup package is quite popular: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35 Since there doesn''t seem to be a semi-official Ruby 1.9 MingW yet, perhaps we should go on offering this in the short term at least. However I''d like to consider changing two things, and wondered what you thought: 1) I think the name should be something like mingw32_with_wxruby-x.y.z-setup - to make it clear it''s first and foremost an installer of the MingW environment. 2) Is it possible to have some documentation on the wiki - and maybe a recipe for it? btw, will the default MingW sandbox work with our built wxRuby gems - or do we need to include some extra library for the GraphicsContext? a

I''d like to keep the ruby version in the name of the installer and + is shorter than _with_.> 2) Is it possible to have some documentation on the wiki - and maybe a > recipe for it?Yes, of course.> btw, will the default MingW sandbox work with our built wxRuby gems - or do > we need to include some extra library for the GraphicsContext? >I''ve never used the MinGW sandbox but this should work. The MinGW wxruby gem is built from static libs only. On another topic, could you please take a look at the issues I have with the RichTextCtrl sample ? http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wxruby-development/2009-February/001546.html Cheers, Chauk-Mean.

The other packages have include ruby19 as an element to signal version compatibility, so we might follow that. OK with "+" so long as it''s a valid character in a filename and an URL? cheers alex
