How do I compile and build the taf2-curb Ruby gem on Windows XP with MinGW?
I tried this, but I'm kinda fishing, unsuccessfully.
C:\Documents and Settings\Megem install taf2-curb -- --with-curl-include=C:/curl-7.19.5-devel-mingw32/include
--with-curl-dir=C:/curl-7.19.5 --with-curl-lib=C:/curl-7.19.5-devel-mingw32/lib --prefix=C:/MinGW --with-curllib

Try passing --with-curl-dir or --with-curl-lib and --with-curl-include
options to extconf.
