Most of these use unique build systems and have binaries built for windows with different compilers. To link this all together with Ruby is a recipe for disaster. For that reason Luis is working on a new One Click installer which builds all the libraries and ruby from source using the MinGW compiler. Unfortunately not all of the libraries build well in the MinGW environment out of the box (or on Windows at all) so the project requires lots of tedious work. There are only development and testing releases of this installer. As far as I know no final release that includes at least all the basic parts is available. Thanks Michal
