Ah in fact it does build with mingw after getting all the paths right. Here's how:
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller/browse_thread/thread/c837c4438d91208b

  set CPATH=d:\dev\ruby\lib\ImageMagick-6.5.6-Q8\include
  set LIBRARY_PATH=d:\dev\ruby\lib\ImageMagick-6.5.6-Q8\lib
  set PATH=d:\dev\ruby\lib\ImageMagick-6.5.6-Q8;
   d:\dev\ruby\devkit\gcc\3.4.5\bin;
    d:\dev\ruby\devkit\msys\1.0.11\bin;%PATH%
  gem install rmagick --platform ruby

Neither Omer nor I have access to a Windows computer, so we can't build and post a binary for Rmagick for any version of Ruby for Windows.

We would love it if you could help out. Any chance you could build binaries for Ruby 1.8.7, and 1.9.1 and put them online for us somewhere that we can download them? Thanks!

You could pull the 1.9.1 shared object anyway from http://github.com/tribalvibes/rmagick/lib fork

Wow! That's awesome! Sorry, for the late response, life got busy.

I see that those binaries were built for 1.9.1-p378 http://github.com/tribalvibes/rmagick/commit/6a9f2cbed48610bd5ba2cee0858d5c53ebc7b32a

Is that currently the most recent version of Ruby? Is there any chance you could build us some for 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 as well?

How do people use those? I'm sorry that I don't know more about Ruby on Windows. Could we bundle those as a zip file so they can download them, or do they need them when compiling the Gem?

Any help and insight you can give me into how the process works would be great.

All you need is to drop the built RMagic2.so shared object in /lib of the gem. If you want to repackage it please go ahead.

To build the .so afresh for a new version of ruby, just follow the instructions in the google groups post above. Basically, you need to install the ruby devkit and the mingw compiler. This was all pretty much a no brainer, but the tricky part (for me, being without brain) was getting the path environment vars set correctly for the windows shell. If you follow the pattern above adjusting for your installation it should work.

It seemed from the discussion that the rubyinstaller folks were the best ones for you to coordinate with to make this completely transparent for future versions of RMagick on windows.

Checkout Issue #27. There is a instruction for installing under windows.

Too old to be relevant, candidate for closing @mmaiza.

Closing due to irrelevant. Hopefully we can improve windows support going forward.
