From: Benoit Cerrina Date: 2001-09-26T05:20:44+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:21677] Re: gtk on win32 It doesn't work any better than with the libs which are coming from the gimp Install. one additional info is that when I run irb from gdb (cygwin) and try to require 'gtk' gdb core dumps and gives me a dialog saying it couldn't open the .text section of gtk.so I wonder if the whole thing comes from the incompatibilities between the cygwin build of ruby and the mingw32 build of gtk. By the way does anybody know why the installable version of ruby is built using cygwin and not mingw32, there is at least a port of ruby using mingw32 so why not use it?
