RubyInstaller for Windows build recipes: a collection of Rake recipes that download the MinGW toolchain and compile the Ruby interpreter, its dependencies, and a DevKit package for building native C-based RubyGems on Windows. This repository covers Ruby 2.3 and older; Ruby 2.4+ is handled by the separate RubyInstaller2 project.
Use cases
- install ruby on windows
- build ruby from source on windows
- set up a devkit to compile native ruby gems
- compile c-extension rubygems with mingw
- create a windows installer for ruby
- maintain legacy ruby 2.3 or older on windows
When to choose
- you need to build or package Ruby 2.3 or older for Windows
- you want to reproduce or contribute to the original RubyInstaller build pipeline
- you need a DevKit (MSYS/MinGW) setup for compiling native gems on old Ruby versions
When to avoid
- you want to install Ruby 2.4 or newer on Windows - use RubyInstaller2 instead
- you just want to run Ruby on a modern Windows machine - download a current RubyInstaller release
- you are on Linux or macOS - use your system package manager or a version manager like rvm/rbenv
