Support for mingw: "Requirements support for mingw is not implemented yet"

[Ajedi32]

I'm trying to get RVM working in the MINGW environment bundled with git bash. In addition to #3704, another problem with this that I've encountered is the following error:

$ rvm install 2.2
ruby-2.2.4 - #removing src/ruby-2.2.4..
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: mingw/unknown/x86_64/ruby-2.2.4.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for mingw.
Requirements support for mingw is not implemented yet,
report a bug here => https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues
Requirements installation failed with status: 1.

My guess is this is occurring because RVM currently doesn't support MINGW at all, so this will be non-trivial to fix...

Not really, but we would welcome a PR if you want to spend a few minutes on this and have a test environment ready? You can find some tips here https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/windows_md.html

thanks. yea, i ended up downloading another version of Ruby manually and removing the the environment variables for the newer version and adding another env var for the old one to make it work

since this was posted with ruby 2.2.4, I vote to close unless we can reproduce with ruby 3.1+
