when needed. When you don't use the Ruby interface you don't need it, thus | |
you can use Vim even though this library file is not on your system. | |

+You need to install the right version of Ruby for this to work. On MS-Windows | |

+in the "Ruby on Windows" section with the most recent version being | |
+Ruby-1.9.2-p0. | |

+There are two "flavors" of MRI Ruby binary downloads available for MS-Windows | |
+users. The first flavor is the RubyInstaller versions providing both Windows | |
+installers and 7-Zip binary archives containing the key dependencies required by | |
+Ruby such as OpenSSL, ZLib, and curses as well as a convenient build MSys/MinGW | |
+toolchain called the DevKit for easily building native Ruby extensions. The | |
+RubyInstaller project currently builds Ruby and its dependencies with a | |
+MSys/MinGW based toolchain (4.5.0). | |
+ | |
+The second flavor is binary archive without the key Ruby dependencies included. | |
To use the Ruby interface the Ruby DLL must be in your search path. In a | |
console window type "path" to see what directories are used. | |
The name of the DLL must match the Ruby version Vim was compiled with. | |
-Currently the name is "msvcrt-ruby191.dll". That is for Ruby 1.9.1. To know | |
-for sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "ruby\d*.dll\c". | |
+Currently the name is "msvcrt-ruby191.dll". That is for Ruby 1.9.1 and | |
+Ruby 1.9.2 as Ruby 1.9.2 is "library compatible" with Ruby 1.9.1 To know for | |
+sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "ruby\d*.dll\c". | |
If you want to build Vim with Ruby 1.9.1, you need to edit the config.h file | |
and comment-out the check for _MSC_VER. |
