The new 1.8.* RCs using the mingw32 compiler have an issue with DL callbacks
causing segfaults. WinClicker uses DL callbacks.
To demonstrate:
> c:\Ruby187-249\bin\irb -r winClicker
>> w=WinClicker.new
=> #<WinClicker:0x2db6070 @User32=#<DL::Handle:0x2db6028>>
>> w.getWindowHandle('')
./winClicker.rb:244: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i386-mingw32]
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I think it best to hold off on recommending this for now. I'm opening a bug
report for this today - meant to earlier, but it slipped my mind.
