Hi,

With recent MSYS (1.0.11-rc1), building ImageMagick on MinGW provides Magick-config script utility. This enables a seamless
support of RMagick on MinGW. The only thing to take care is to call Magick-config from bash.exe. The provided patch
for extconf.rb (for RMagick 2.9.2) does the job.

did you have to install imagemagick from scratch in order for
this to work?

In addition to the pastie URL, the patch for RMagick-2.11.0
can also be found as an attached file.

Hi,
Could you please integrate the patch to support MinGW.
This becomes really tedious to modify the extconf.rb file
for each successive release of RMagick (2.10, 2.11).

The patch for RMagick-2.11 can be found here :
http://pastie.org/604828

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Timely, too. I'm about to start working on a version
of RMagick that uses Luis Lavena's rake-compiler with Ruby 1.9.1.

The copy/paste in the small text box has added artificial
new lines. I hope that you will be able to use it.

I've not been able to attach the patch file.
Below is a copy/paste of this patch.
