Subject: [ruby-core:27932] [Bug #2669] mkmf find_executable doesn't find .bat files

Issue #2669 has been updated by Luis Lavena.


Neither cygwin or MSYS (which is based in cygwin) likes batch files, that is one of the reasons is not marked as executable.

A few patch levels ago for 1.8.6 and 1.9.1, Ruby didn't consider batch levels priority over extension-less executables. That was one of the issues when calling "rake" versus "rake.bat"

I've commented about this back in 2008 here:

I believe mkmf needs to implement the same changes to match the behavior expressed and corrected in that ticket.
