Subject: Trying to build Ruby on Windows

Hi, folks:

I am trying to build Ruby from CVS using the free Visual Studio version of 
C++ pointed out by Nathaniel a couple of weeks ago (I've gotten further with 
this than I did with MSYS).

Unfortunately, it can't find lib.exe at some point. It appears that this is 
used in place of ar, but I'm not sure why it can't find it. There is a 
version of lib.exe in the Windows SDK directory under win64, but I'm not 
sure if that's "safe" to use.

Has anyone else tried this? Does anyone have any advice as to where to find 
lib.exe ... or an alternative?
