Does anyone have a howto or instruction list on how to build Ruby 1.8.x
(preferably .6) under MinGW with binary extensions e.g. Zlib and
OpenSSL?
I can’t find any docs/articles on that and the one from ruby-lang.org is
somewhat broken (complains of fcntl() not being implemented).
When I try to build it with a ./configure ; make ; make install, the
ruby interpreter builds fine, but zlib, openssl, etc. do not build
binaries for use with it (I have MinGW/MSYS installed already).

Any ideas? Thanks.
I got a little farther in the build (zlib, but no openssl still) but
I’ve since stopped as the MinGW build of Ruby still exhibits the broken
I/O behavior described here:
