As part of another project, I aggregate the mingw.org MSYS packages with mingw-w64 builds...we call it the oh so clever...wait for it...DevKit. It's got other goodies and things that make Ruby on Windows users happy, but it's also a standalone development toolchain. Currently we allow building of a 4.6.3 flavor based upon Ruben's build, and a 4.7.1 edge build based on the niXman's mingwbuilds project. MSYS artifacts: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/blob/master/config/devkit.rb#L30-68 mingw-w64 builds: https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/blob/master/config/compilers/mingw64.rb In fact, I just updated and smoke tested the 4.7.1 mingwbuilds flavor https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/commit/a7e8db081c627c872d95ffb7b3d6fec213419f55 Jon --- Fail fast.
