FYI, all built well and ran last nite with RubyInstaller 1.9.2-p0, llvm-gcc v2.8 and the very complete :ruby puts 'hello vim' test.

I wonder if the recommendation should be that, if you want to build dynamic MRI Ruby support on Windows into vim, use the same toolchain used to build the MRI Ruby you're using. @Bram...please reject this patch version as I want to check the following and update it for your review. BTW, do you see "If your program is using more than one version of the CRT, some care is needed when passing certain CRT objects (such as file handles, locales and environment variables) across DLL boundaries." as an issue if gvim.exe/ vim.exe links against one Windows CRT version while the dynamically loaded DLLs (e.g. - lua, ruby, python, etc) link against another? (note: on my Win7 system my gvim/vim links against MSVCRT.DLL and the dynamically loaded system32\PYTHON27.DLL depends upon the side-by-side MSVCR90.DLL...things seem to run OK) 1) Confirm that one should build vim with the same toolchain as used to build your Ruby distribution 2) Confirm that both Ruby and vim need to link to the same MSFT CRT version to avoid [3] 3) Similar to (2), review whether the "remove _MSC_VER from config.h" note in if_ruby.txt should be clarified 4) Add note stating that when trying to use dynamic MRI Ruby 1.9.2, both RUBY_VER and RUBY_VER_LONG need to be set to 191 and 1.9.1 respectively to deal with 1.9.2's "mostly compatible with 1.9.1" and "library compatibility version" peculiarities [4] Jon [1] http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads [2] http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/download/release.html [3] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms235460(v=VS.100).aspx [4] http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2010/08/18/ruby-1-9-2-is-released/ -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
