I haven't had a chance to try to build from source, but I do know that you can get 1.9 nightly binaries for Windows from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/. Maybe that will suffice? Or do you mean that you need to modify the source yourself?

Here's what I did on XP SP2 running under Parallels. - Download and install MSFT Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (gratis) - Get the Windows Platform SDK - Install Ruby 1.8.x using 1-click Windows Installer - Grab Ruby 1.9 from Subversion - Click through: Start Menu / Platform SDK / Open Build Environment Window / Windows XP 32-bit ... / Set Windows XP ... Build Environment - In the command window that opens, run "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat" - win32/configure.bat - nmake Result: C:\dev\ruby\win32>ruby -v ruby 1.9.0 (2007-04-12 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32_80] ~L
