[Rubyinstaller-devel] musings

[Roger Pack]

Hi all.

A few musings:

re: GPL versus MIT.  I suppose you could have the installer actually
download mingw+msys at install time, and thus you wouldn't be
distributing GPL code.  Either that or the gem way.  I'd be happy to
help with the gem one.

re: rake-compiler
Does this integrate with newgem at all?

Note:
with rubyinstaller currently I get [when I run rake]

...
mv zlib1.dll bin
cd -
cd sandbox/ruby_1_8

is this expected?


Thanks.
