Subject: Problems building plruby on Windows

Hi all,

Windows XP Pro
Ruby 1.8.2
plruby 0.4.6
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for
80x86

Has anyone managed to build plruby on Windows?  I tried and got the
following warnings/errors:

C:\ruby\src\plruby-0.4.6>ruby extconf.rb
--with-pgsql-dir=c:\progra~1\postgresql\8.1
checking for catalog/pg_proc.h... yes
checking for rb_hash_delete()... yes
checking for server/utils/array.h... yes

creating Makefile


========================================================================
 After the installation use *something like this* to create the
language
 plruby


   create function plruby_call_handler() returns language_handler
   as 'c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/plruby.so'
   language 'C';

   create trusted language 'plruby'
   handler plruby_call_handler
   lancompiler 'PL/Ruby';


========================================================================

C:\ruby\src\plruby-0.4.6>nmake

Stop.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
