I even didn't notice (so far) that there is install.rb. (I always manually 
copied 
wxruby.so in proper folder :-)

Here the samples are running normally under MSDOS prompt?

Do you have your \path_to_ruby\bin & \path_to_mingw_lib in your %PATH?

(MSYS put that automagically, and therefore can find whatever is needed.)

MinGW is also free and, imho, it's nice to have configure mechanism (with MSYS) 
instead
of tweaking Makefiles.

When I'd have more time, I can try with bcc, but at the moment no time & I'm 
not at 
all familiar wiht bcc.

Maybe looking at wxWindows Makefile can help you.
