Installing oniguruma on windows with devkit.

gistfile1.mkd

NOTE: If you use ansicon make sure it is not loaded

Download the Oniguruma library.

I have had good luck with 5.9.1 and 5.9.2.

Extract it to a temporary folder.

I used C:\Users\gthiesfeld\Work\repo\onig-5.9.2.

Activate the devkit

C:\>\Ruby\DevKit\devkitvars.bat
Adding the DevKit to PATH...

build oniguruma

C:\Users\gthiesfeld\Work\repo\onig-5.9.2>sh configure
... output snipped ...

C:\Users\gthiesfeld\Work\repo\onig-5.9.2>make
... output snipped ...

Add the lib and headers to the GCC search paths

set CPATH=C:\Users\gthiesfeld\Work\repo\onig-5.9.2
set LIBRARY_PATH=C:\Users\gthiesfeld\Work\repo\onig-5.9.2\.libs

Install the oniguruma gem.

C:\>gem in oniguruma
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed oniguruma-1.1.0

Installing ri documentation for oniguruma-1.1.0...

No definition for oregexp_initialize
Installing RDoc documentation for oniguruma-1.1.0...

No definition for oregexp_initialize

That's it. The errors at the end are due to rdoc and ri not being able to parse the source. If you see these, don't be alarmed.

Legend, lifesaver.

Great help for me .

Thanks so much~~
