mingwX¶ ↑

Mingw extension libs for compiling rubinius.

Why¶ ↑

POSIX functions are heavily used in rubinius, but many of them are not implemented under mingw.

Usage¶ ↑

Under MSYS console:

rake

Then the instructions and env settings are shown. NOTE: even with these headers you can not get rubinius compiled by mingw, I am still trying to make a very big patch …

See more tasks

rake -T
