I''m sure this has been brought up before but I haven''t heard anything lately. When is there going to be a wxruby-ruby19 for Windows? -- Eric Will

There''s also an all-in-one installing providing Ruby 1.9 and wxRuby 2.0. wxRuby 2.0 doesn''t currently compile with the version of Microsoft''s compiler used for some Ruby 1.9 binary offering from elsewhere (MSVC9). Personally I''m open to working on this at some stage, but I''d like some clearer signals from the ruby core dev team or wider ruby community about which is going to become the preferred compiler for Ruby 1.9 before committing the resources needed to supporting another set up. hth alex
Apparently the current win32 mysql gem will not work with your mingw32.exe installer.

Projects that depend on compilation (like wxRuby, MySQL ... and lots of others) don''t really know whether to work on supporting MingW or MSVC. Most don''t yet support either.> You may want to look at Luis Lavena''s Installer3 Framework, to build > the MinGW version of Ruby.
