I tried your suggestion but it does not alleviate the fixation of win32-api on msvcrt-ruby18.dll

Hi Daniel,

No worries, I was able to compile using DevKit by passing --platform=ruby to the gem install:

gem install win32-api --platform=ruby

See the following thread for the discussion:

That looks like some sort of problem with Rake in 1.9 actually. Weird.

I'll see if I can get a 1.9 binary posted here. It won't be a gem, though.

I'm having the same problem. Is there any chance of releasing a 1.9 compatible version? The new and very excellent LiveReload makes use of several win32 libraries, but it won't work in 1.9. I've tried downloading the source and running "rake gem:install", "rake build", "rake build_binary_gem" but they fail with this:

The win32-api binary gem that you have was built for 1.8.x. The best thing to do at this point is to download the source and run "rake gem:install", so you have a native binary.

msvcrt-ruby18.dll issue with win32-process [ reply ]  
2010-05-19 19:23
Hi - I have Ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-mingw32] installed at "D:/Ruby19" and am getting an error about a missing DLL when I simply try to require the library "require 'win32/process'"

I have the following gems installed:
win32-api (1.4.6)
win32-process (0.6.2)
windows-api (0.4.0)
windows-pr (1.0.9)

I get a popup with the message: "This application has failed to start because msvcrt-ruby18.dll was not found."

Stdout shows:
The specified module could not be found. - D:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/win32-api-1.4.6-x86-mingw32/lib/win32/api.so (LoadError)

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
