Ah, Mingw. I guess it won't use the mswin32 gem because of the platform, so it tries to build from source, and the last source gem I put out there was for 1.2.0.
I guess I need to put out source gems for mingw and cygwin users. :)
Now, I'm still not sure why it's trying to build a gem that's older than the minimum required version, but I'll bet we can avoid the issue. I'll post a source gem in a few minutes here.

Indeed it is all on rubyforge--however google is not as kind as we would like to those searching for the source.
Ex: for me googling "ruby win32api" results in the RAA page coming up [of any actually related] first, though apparently the rubyforge one is kept more up to date.
I'm still not sure why rubygems is weird.
Thanks.

Trouble finding stuff? It's all on RubyForge. I don't see how splitting the source into a different SCM on a different site helps that situation. Besides, I'm not interested in git for my libraries. I see nothing compelling about it beyond "all the cool kids are doing it".
As for you issue, I can only guess that you're pulling from a different source that hasn't been updated. What does "gem env" show?
Regards,
Dan

I found some difficulty in getting the "latest and greatest" win32-api code...hunting around I ran into
http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=85
and there's this one with code:
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/windows-api/
which says "last updated 2008-07-19 14:00:33 GMT" so I thought it might have the latest code, but then the real latest code appears to be in the downloads section of the rubyforge project. And nothing on github. Might want to help out poor losers like me who have trouble finding stuff.
In reality it shouldn't matter if "gem install" worked, but recently I'd get
c:\dev>gem list win32-api -b
*** REMOTE GEMS ***
win32-api (1.3.0, 1.2.0)
c:\dev>gem install win32-api
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Successfully installed win32-api-1.2.0
[i.e. rubygems building the wrong version] which prohibited the win32-process gem from installing, that's why I had to hunt for the source, so if that weren't a problem there would be none.
Thanks so much!
