Hello,

Over the past months I've been thinking on ways to improve current RubyInstaller experience for users -- including DevKit -- aiming to make it more Windows-friendly.

While RubyInstaller in its current form has fulfilled my personal needs, I acknowledge that, for newcomers or Windows-centric developers, its usage is problematic and sometimes cryptic.

Below are the common list of complaints I often hear (via Twitter rants,

require 'fiddle'

module FFI
  module Library
    def ffi_lib *libs
      libs.each { |lib| Fiddle.dlopen lib }
    end

    def attach_function name, arg_types, return_type
      f = Fiddle::Function.new(

* Shotgun no funciona, toca reiniciar el servidor después de cada cambio en el código.
* No pudimos poner a correr Sinatra bajo Ruby 1.8.6 en Windows (en otros S.O. funciona bien).
* DataMapper moría usualmente debido a problemas por "falta de memoria" (aunque el sistema tuviera recursos suficientes).
* Los usuarios de Windows 7 con RubyInstaller 1.8.7 veían problemas con mkmf al intentar instalar los gems para los adaptadores de bases de datos.
* El tener que mover DLLs (como SQLite3) en los directorios no es precisamente lo que buscas después de decirles que con "gem install [foo]" tendrán la gema Foo funcionando perfectamente.

Me hubiera gustado subir gists de los errores, pero no me siento capaz de decirle primero a un usuario que Ruby y Sinatra son una maravilla y luego tener que pedirles que creen un bug report para algo tan básico como poner a correr un "Hola Mundo".

Me siento frustrado al leer tweets como: http://twitter.com/christianrojas/status/17539066568, había muchos interesados en conocer Sina

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.
