Dunno what you mean.

It warns you, but that's all.

The legend says "rake-compiler must be configured first to enable
cross-compilation"

cross-compilation is compile code in Linux or OSX targeting Windows.

That is a functionality to allow developers release Windows gems
without the need of a Windows machine. You can safely ignore it.

Issuing a "rake native gem" should generate you the proper gem inside
"pkg" folder.

Be warned that you need "unzip" and "wget" to be able to download the
required files to build the binaries.

Download, extract and place them somewhere in the PATH.
