Subject: Compiling problem with WxRuby on mswin-32, Ruby 1.9.1

Hi,

I'm trying to compile WxRuby for my mswin32-version of Ruby 1.9.1 for
some days now, but don't get it to complete (I'm using the MSVC 2008
compiler on Win XP). First, this is the output of my "ruby -v":
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-mswin32]
Second, I've downloaded the "wxruby-2.0.0.tar.gz" file from Rubyforge
and extracted it to "D:\Ruby191\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\wxruby-2.0.0".
Third, I did a cd in the directory and tried to run "rake", just as said
in the INSTALL file:
D:\Ruby191\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\wxruby-2.0.0>rake
(in D:/Ruby191/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/wxruby-2.0.0)

The error suggests that there's something wrong with the WxWidget
headers, maybe a "missing ';'" somewhere. Because I'm not familiar with
C, I posted this here. I've been told at the German ruby forum (see
http://forum.ruby-portal.de/viewtopic.php?t=9266) that there's maybe a
wrong type declaration in line 110 of the "filefn.h" of the WxWidget
headers, because I wasn't able to find a type named "_off_t":

#ifdef __WXWINCE__
    typedef long off_t;
#else
    // define off_t
    #if !defined(__WXMAC__) || defined(__UNIX__) || defined(__MACH__)
        #include  <sys/types.h>
    #else
        typedef long off_t;
    #endif
#endif

#if (defined(__VISUALC__) && !defined(__WXWINCE__)) || (
defined(__MWERKS__) && defined( __INTEL__) )
    typedef _off_t off_t; //------Line 110-------
#elif defined(__SYMANTEC__)
    typedef long off_t;
#elif defined(__MWERKS__) && !defined(__INTEL__) && !defined(__MACH__)
    typedef long off_t;
#endif

After some minutes of searching the WxWidget headers, I only found a
type called "z_off_t" in zconf.h (lines 287 - 294) in the "zlib"
subdirectory:

#if 0           /* HAVE_UNISTD_H -- this line is updated by ./configure
*/
#  include <sys/types.h> /* for off_t */
#  include <unistd.h>    /* for SEEK_* and off_t */
#  ifdef VMS
#    include <unixio.h>   /* for off_t */
#  endif
#  define z_off_t off_t
#endif

Can there be an error in the header code or am I just doing something
wrong?
