Hi,

Anybody got Ruby to compile with a Linux to mingw32 cross compiler?

It is fairly easy.
On my system (Debian unstable) I just had to edit the configure script
to remove the setpgrp test(*) and run
./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc
make

(*) otherwise you'd get
checking whether setpgrp takes no argument... configure: error: cannot
check setpgrp when cross compiling

% env ac_cv_func_getpgrp_void=no ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void=yes ac_cv_func_memcmp_working=yes rb_cv_binary_elf=no rb_cv_negative_time_t=no ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --target=i386-mingw32 --build=i686-linux
% make

Thanks.

What's with the i586-mingw32msvc? I'm using i386-mingw32.... I don't
understand what msvc has to do with it.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
