Building WideStudio/Ruby apps requires ruby-mingw32 (meaning ruby built with mingw/msys). Here's the steps I took (instructed by Sean O'Halpin): I installed MinGW Current (MinGW-5.0.3) first, then MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1, downloaded and unpacked ruby stable snapshot (ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/stable-snapshot.tar.gz), fired up MSYS, entered this: /configure --prefix=c:/ruby-mingw --enable-shared && make && make install
