Re: Want to use Ruby/GTK2 + rcairo on Windows

Hi all,

At last, I could compile ruby-gtk2 package and rcairo from source code
with ruby 1.9.2 on Windows 7 laptop.

Look at a tiny note:

ashbb/shoes_hack_note/blob/master/md/hack031.md

hack 031: Compile ruby-gtk2 package and rcairo with Ruby 1.9.2 (i386-mingw32)
============================================================

I found [this post](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/192793). So, I just tried with Ruby 1.9.2. :)

*Note*:  old page (using rcairo-1.8.5) is [here](http://github.com/ashbb/shoes_hack_note/blob/master/md/hack031_old.md).

Preparation

Download and install:

- [Ruby 1.9.2](http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/72170/rubyinstaller-1.9.2-p0.exe) to `c:\ruby`

- [DevKit 4.5.0](http://github.com/downloads/oneclick/rubyinstaller/DevKit-4.5.0-20100819-1536-sfx.exe) to `c:\DevKit`

I’m not sure this patch is reasonable, but anyway it seems to work well.

Cheers,
