Gem List
This page summarizes some of the RubyGems (using native C-based extensions) various community members have found to be compatible with RubyInstaller-based Ruby environments using the MSys/MinGW based Development Kit (DevKit). Both the RubyInstaller and DevKit are available for download at rubyinstaller.org
If you have good experiences with other RubyGems in a RubyInstaller environment, we love to hear about it! Please let us know by adding an entry to the following summary tables.
If you find that a specific RubyGem doesn’t work, please drop us a line on the mailing list before updating the summaries. We may just be able to help you solve the issue, or help confirm that it’s a real issue.
Thanks!
The RubyInstaller Team
