I'm having the same problem mentioned compiling the newest release of 
ruby (1.8.5-p12). I'm trying to compile it with VS2005 under WinXP SP2, 
VS2005 SP1. Running configure.bat from the VS2005 Command Prompt works 
fine, but after running nmake, I get the following error:

----------------------------------------
        .\miniruby.exe C:/ruby-src2/ruby-1.8.5-p12/win32/mkexports.rb 
-output=ms
vcr80-ruby18.def msvcr80-ruby18-static.lib
C:/ruby-src2/ruby-1.8.5-p12/win32/mkexports.rb:6: [BUG] Segmentation 
fault
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25) [i386-mswin32_80]

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
        lib -nologo -machine:x86 -out:msvcr80-ruby18.lib 
-def:msvcr80-ruby18.def

LIB : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'msvcr80-ruby18.def'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\VC\BIN\l
ib.EXE"' : return code '0x450'
Stop.
----------------------------------------

The reason I'm needing to compile ruby is because I'll be compiling a 
dll with VS2005 using SWIG, to be imported into a ruby app. Any help 
would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Amir
