i did this but what i get is just:
checking for main() in libexpat.lib... no

so i tried to change it to
if true

then it creates a makefile, but after typing make it says:
$ make
cl -nologo -MD -Zi -O2b2xg- -G6  -I. -Ic:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32
-Ic:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 -I.  -Ic:/expat-1.95.7/source/lib
-I. -I./.. -I./../missing -DOS_CODE=OS_WIN32 -c -Tcquixml.c
/bin/sh: cl: command not found
make: *** [quixml.obj] Error 127

after replacing cl with gcc and removing some flags which create errors
i still get this:
$ make
gcc -MD -O2b2xg- -I. -Ic:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32
-Ic:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 -I.  -Ic:/expat-1.95.7/source/lib
-I. -I./.. -I./../missing -DOS_CODE=OS_WIN32 -c -Tcquixml.c
gcc.exe: no input files
make: *** [quixml.obj] Error 1

so i tried to compile it this way:
$ gcc -MD -I. -Ic:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32
-Ic:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-m
swin32 -I.  -Ic:/expat-1.95.7/source/lib -I. -I./.. -I./../missing
-DOS_CODE=OS
_WIN32 -c quixml.c

now i have a funny quixml.o and a quixml.d, but when i do
$ gcc quixml.o -o quixml.dll

i just get many lines of errors like this:
quixml.o(.text+0x37):quixml.c: undefined reference to `ruby_xmalloc'
