[ruby-core:50420] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7427] Update Rubygems

Issue #7427 has been updated by jonforums (Jon Forums).


Don't worry about installing a toolchain and double check that you have a minimal PATH and clean env vars; no pointers to an existing cygwin or mingw install.

We've made the build recipes self-contained so you don't have to worry about installing toolchains, using env vars to influence configure, etc. The `rake ruby19 ...` command first downloads all it needs into a download cache and then extracts, configures, and builds everything in a sandbox. There's other things (`rake -T`) you can do (build with a toolchain listed in `rake devkit:ls`) but my quick start should work.

re: WinXP 32bit...I don't have an XP system any more but I believe Hiroshi has semi-recently built on XP. If you run into compile/link errors with mingw64-32-4.7.2, do a `rake clean` (keeps the file download cache) followed by `rake ruby19 local=c:\projects\ruby dkver=mingw-32-4.6.2` to build with the mingw.org toolkit rather than the mingw-w64 toolkit. They both should work even though there are header differences. The key (irrelevant to your scenario but an fyi) is to not mix-n-match building ruby with one toolkit while building a native gem with a different toolkit.

Good luck.

Hiroshi...any issues you've had building on XP 32bit I've forgotten?
