Hello,

i'm regularly using ruby on a win32 environment, and i'd like to know if
any of you has some general indications on how to build extensions in a
MINGW32 environment, so as to get mswin compatible binaries without the
cost of a Visual Studio Licence.

I found that WATANABE Hirofumi, aka eban, has ported many packages and
gives access to compiled binaries [1] and I believe he built these
packages on a linux box.

If these indication allowed me to cross compile from linux to windows,
it would be enough for me. I'd just like to be able to have the
equivalent ability on both platforms.

TIA,
