Subject: Makefile for mysql-ruby?


I really hope nobody gets offended by my plea for some mercy.

I've looked and I've tried... and frankly I'm a bit dissapointed at why
there's no 'support' for a Windows 2000/XP install of MySQL
(mysql-4.0.18-win-noinstall.zip), and mysql-ruby (mysql-ruby-2.4.4.tar.gz).

Almost all of the tutorials I've read use linux paths, or assume a
knowledge of the command 'make'.

I really don't know what I'm doing (I've used the 'make' command maybe
40 times - 15 of which were to try and get mysql-ruby working).

Does anyone have a _really_ user friendly way to get ruby-dbi
(ruby-dbi-all-0.0.21.tar.gz) working with the MySQL and mysql-ruby
mentioned using ruby (1.8.1 pragProg windows installer)?

I'm looking to create my own 'phpMyAdmin' for ruby, but that would mean
getting a connection over tcp/ip from ruby to mysql (I've read that
proxy.rb needs to run for the tcp/ip part - I'm just not there yet).

I would love any help or pointers.

All of the emails I've read involve versions of ruby that are not 1.8.1.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!
