Note that mingw/msys builds are NOT compatible with VC++2003 orVC++2005 builds because of a different runtime environment. At aminimum, there is a mismatch between where errno is defined (somehow).
If you are using the One-Click Installer for 1.8.2, you will need tocompile extensions with VC++2003 (using MSVCR71.DLL); if you are usingthe One-Click Installer for 1.8.4, you will be able to compileextensions with VC6 or msys/mingw. You MUST NOT mix the versions orbad things may happen to your Ruby programs.
