Scratch my previous e-mail. It seems that i did it accidentally under 1.8.6.
In 1.9.2 the building still fails:
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing win32-api:

necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more

I'm wondering how could it be that building native extensions worked under
1.8.6... i'd point out that my 1.9.2 is installed via pik install, but i
doubt that doing it with ruby installer would make any difference... i could
try of course...
Do you guys happen to have some Windows development tools installed by any
chance like Windows DDK, Visual Studio and such? No?
