I've tried a bit. I've got MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite/Ruby compiled for Windows. The PostgreSQL I haven't released because I haven't tested it thoroughly. Although I'll probably release the PostgreSQL one and let the community test it for me :) My next project is OpenSSL so that I can use the Ruby SSH project. But that is going to be awhile (I'm in the middle of moving from Arizona to Washington). The thing I've noticed is that the extension library code (the C code) usually has dependencies on things that are not defined in Windows. That is what takes the most time to get around. But the good news is that it is a small minority of projects that have this problem. -- Justin Rudd http://seagecko.org/thoughts/
