I am looking for some advice on building Ruby 1.9 on windows. Following the
instructions found in this thread
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/184380, I have
managed to get pretty far but not far enough. I have Visual Studio 2005
Professional, and I am only building 1.9 to test a very small portion of it
(some recent changes to Net::HTTP). Therefore, I don't think binary
compatibility with extensions matters much. I've heard that is a problem
between the various compilers.

Anyways, when I build, I get errors such as:

        cl -nologo -MD -Zi -O2b2xty-  -DRUBY_EXPORT -I. -Ic:/ruby-src/ruby
-Ic:/ruby-src/ruby/missing  -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -D
_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE -c -Tcc:/ruby-src/ruby/blockinlining.c
blockinlining.c
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C c:\ruby-src\ruby\win32\rm.bat
ruby.exe
        ruby c:/ruby-src/ruby/tool/insns2vm.rb --srcdir="c:/ruby-src/ruby"
'ruby' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'ruby' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

This seems to say I  need to have ruby built already to build ruby. Is that
true or can anyone offer suggestions?

Thanks!

Justin
