building Shoes, getting error on MRI192 encoding.h

Now that the dependencies are all building (thanks Luis & Jon) I have 
moved on to trying to get the Shoes exe building.

Shoes is built with a pretty simple recipe task:

    task :compile => [:configure, :compiler, :dependencies] do
      cd package.build_target do
        sh "rake win32:build"
      end
    end


During the compilation, the Shoes rakefile blows up complaining about 
errors in C:/Ruby192/include/ruby-1.9.1/ruby/encoding.h. I kind of doubt 
that what it's complaining about is a genuine problem since RubyInstaller 
had no trouble building it earlier. I'm hoping this error looks familiar 
to someone and you can point me to the real culprit.

PS - if there is a way to copy & paste from a Windows command prompt, I'd 
love to know about it. Taking screen shots seems like a waste just to get 
some text.

Chuck,

Right-click on the cmd.exe top bar and select "Properties". On the "Options"
tab, "Edit Options" box check
QuickEdit Mode. This allows you to highlight areas and with a right-click
copy (automatic, no dialog box). Warning the highlighting of text doesn't
work like other programs.

This is how my XP works. Good Luck.

That is concerning... syntax errors in ruby header files? Take a look at
that first line and see why it thinks the syntax is off. It might need a
#define flag set that isn't or something (as in, it is compiling the wrong
section of code, etc). :(

PS - You use "Mark" from context menu and then select and then press Enter.
It will copy it.
