I have Ruby compiling fine using Borlands (free) C compiler for Windows. The only problem is I can't set where ruby is compiled to, it just installs it to the current directory (c:\ruby\src\ruby-1.8.4\bcc32\). Normally you can add --prefix=c:\ruby\bin to the configure command and that sets the directory. configure --prefix=c:\ruby\bin make make test make install I don't use C much so it maybe something basic... Many thanks, K. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
