What is the necessary work for getting Native extensions working with Windows?

[fxfactorial]

As a starting step, I need to get the gem dependency unf_ext working with traveling ruby, what kind of things would I need to change. I can do the work, just would appreciate some guidance. Thanks.

I'm also interested in this, and being a bit skilled in cross-compilation from linux to windows via
mingw-w64, I believe I could be of help here. Are you guys fine with the idea of cross-compiled
native gems?

Sounds great to me if you can get it working reliably. Sent from my Android phone. Op 26 dec. 2017 17:45 schreef "hanetzer" <notifications@github.com>:

We're consolidating all issues concerning Windows support to work on in the next few weeks. @fxfactorial @hanetzer would you be interested in working on this with us?

@FloorD sure. I'm pretty alright with mingw-w64 and ruby stuff, and am pretty good at wrangling
build systems.
