Subject: Re: fcgi or ruby-fcgi on Windows-Xp

Hi,

To use fcgi on Windows, you have to take next steps to install:

1) Download an install Fastcgi-development-kit from www.fastcgi.com, 
i've installed it in C:/fcgi directory.(Last version is 
fcgi-2.4.0.tar.tar).

2) Download last version of mod_fcgid.so and fcgi.so module from 
"http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi" and put it on apache/modules 
directory. (Last version is mod_fcgid-2.3.5-win32-x86.zip).

3) install the fcgi gem from www.rubyforge.org or www.rubygems.org with 
gem install procedure (You need the --with-opt-dir directive to fcgi 
installation directory for the procedure work.)

I don't know if Mingw install procedure is different. I have installed 
Mingw (and Msys also) and also Cygwin, but i don't use them too much, 
because i always work better with Windows.

I use WSDK for Windows 7 and Netframework 3.5 to compile sources, but i 
think in Windows is better to download binaries from some 
web-site.Generally source-compilation ends with a lot of errors.Is 
difficult not to miss any header file and i think the effort dont's 
whorty (I've really tried it so hard, but at last 臓i give up!, 臓dammned 
Windows!.).
