A few questions for the windows release:

I managed to compile some of the bindings with MinGW like described  
here:  
[http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?compile\_mingw](http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?compile_mingw)

1. Is it possible to compile it for a many ruby versions?  
I compiled with 1.8.6-patchlevel 111, but throw out a procedure entry  
point error on a different machine with 1.8.6-patchlevel 0

Will it work with never versions if I compile against a previous  
version?

1. How was the exe-installer done? Can you provide information how to  
make one?

Best Regards,  
Joachim G.

The NSIS script should be in the SVN repo. Just get the “compiler” from  
[nsis.sourceforge.net](http://nsis.sourceforge.net), and see if it still compiles.
