Windows 7 - building win32/api gem
Stanislaw Wozniak
I have been trying to install win32-api 1.4.0 gem on windows 7 x64 but
no success.
When i install x86 version, require 'win32/api' gives me following
error:
LoadError: 193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. -

I have VS2008 installed and even managed to create a makefile but it
complains about following:

Does anyone have any idea about building gem on windows? Or maybe you
have precompiled api.so on your x64 system.
I would appreciate your help.

I guess you tried to build win32-api module with Visual C++ 9.0.
You must use the same compiler with the Ruby version(x64-mswin64_80).
After some trials and errors, I managed to build win32-api module with
Visual C++ 8.0.
You can download at http://121.78.227.9/win32-api-1.4.0/lib/win32/api.so
NB, Using win32utils on the 64bit Ruby is not tested.

For my future reference, is VC++ 8.0 included in Visual Studio 2005?

Build environment is just Visual Studio 2005 x64 command prompt.
The ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [x64-mswin64_80] distribution lacks
win32.h file in \include\ruby-1.9.1\ruby folder.
Coping win32.h from ruby 1.9.1p0 source code to the above folder is required.
This subject is more suitable on win32utils-devel mailing list.
Please join at http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=85 for more discussion.
