-# Windows
-
-Ruby supports a few native build platforms for Windows.
-
-* mswin: Build using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler with vcruntimeXXX.dll
-* mingw-msvcrt: Build using compiler for Mingw with msvcrtXX.dll
-* mingw-ucrt: Build using compiler for Mingw with Windows Universal CRT
-
-## Building Ruby using Mingw with UCRT
-
-The easiest build environment is just a standard [RubyInstaller-Devkit]
-installation and [git-for-windows]. You might like to use [VSCode] as an
-editor.
-
-### Build examples
-
-Ruby core development can be done either in Windows `cmd` like:
-
-```
-ridk enable ucrt64
-
-pacman -S --needed %MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX%-openssl %MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX%-libyaml %MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX%-libffi
-
-cd c:\
-mkdir work
-cd work
-git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby
-
-cd c:\work\ruby
-sh autogen.sh
-sh configure -C --disable-install-doc
-make
-```
-
-or in MSYS2 `bash` like:
-
-```
-ridk enable ucrt64
-bash
-
-pacman -S --needed $MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX-openssl $MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX-libyaml $MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX-libffi
-
-cd /c/
-mkdir work
-cd work
-git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby
-cd ruby
-
-./autogen.sh
-./configure -C --disable-install-doc
-make
-```

-## Building Ruby using Visual C++
-
-### Requirement
-
-1. Windows 7 or later.
-
-2. Visual C++ 12.0 (2013) or later.
-
- **Note** if you want to build x64 version, use native compiler for
- x64.
-
-3. Please set environment variable `INCLUDE`, `LIB`, `PATH`
- to run required commands properly from the command line.
-
- **Note** building ruby requires following commands.
-
- * nmake
- * cl
- * ml
- * lib
- * dumpbin
-
-4. If you want to build from GIT source, following commands are required.
- * patch
- * sed
- * ruby 2.0 or later
-
- You can use [scoop](https://scoop.sh/) to install them like:
-
- ```
- scoop install git ruby sed patch
- ```
-
-5. You need to install required libraries using [vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io/) like:
-
- ```
- vcpkg --triplet x64-windows install openssl libffi libyaml zlib
- ```
-
-6. Enable Command Extension of your command line. It's the default behavior
- of `cmd.exe`. If you want to enable it explicitly, run `cmd.exe` with
- `/E:ON` option.
-
-### How to compile and install
-
-1. Execute `win32\configure.bat` on your build directory.
- You can specify the target platform as an argument.
- For example, run `configure --target=i686-mswin32`
- You can also specify the install directory.
- For example, run `configure --prefix=<install_directory>`
- Default of the install directory is `/usr` .
- The default _PLATFORM_ is `i386-mswin32_`_MSRTVERSION_ on 32-bit
- platforms, or `x64-mswin64_`_MSRTVERSION_ on x64 platforms.
- _MSRTVERSION_ is the 2- or 3-digits version of the Microsoft
- Runtime Library.
-
-2. Change _RUBY_INSTALL_NAME_ and _RUBY_SO_NAME_ in `Makefile`
- if you want to change the name of the executable files.
- And add _RUBYW_INSTALL_NAME_ to change the name of the
- executable without console window if also you want.
-
-3. You need specify vcpkg directory to use `--with-opt-dir`
- option like `configure --with-opt-dir=C:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows`
-
-4. Run `nmake up` if you are building from GIT source.
-
-5. Run `nmake`
-
-6. Run `nmake check`
-
-7. Run `nmake install`
-
-### Build examples
-
-* Build on the ruby source directory.
-
- ```
- ruby source directory: C:\ruby
- build directory: C:\ruby
- install directory: C:\usr\local
- ```
-
- ```
- C:
- cd \ruby
- win32\configure --prefix=/usr/local
- nmake
- nmake check
- nmake install
- ```
-
-* Build on the relative directory from the ruby source directory.
-
- ```
- ruby source directory: C:\ruby
- build directory: C:\ruby\mswin32
- install directory: C:\usr\local
- ```
-
- ```
- C:
- cd \ruby
- mkdir mswin32
- cd mswin32
- ..\win32\configure --prefix=/usr/local
- nmake
- nmake check
- nmake install
- ```
-
-* Build on the different drive.
-
- ```
- ruby source directory: C:\src\ruby
- build directory: D:\build\ruby
- install directory: C:\usr\local
- ```
-
- ```
- D:
- cd D:\build\ruby
- C:\src\ruby\win32\configure --prefix=/usr/local
- nmake
- nmake check
- nmake install DESTDIR=C:
- ```
-
-* Build x64 version (requires native x64 VC++ compiler)
-
- ```
- ruby source directory: C:\ruby
- build directory: C:\ruby
- install directory: C:\usr\local
- ```
-
- ```
- C:
- cd \ruby
- win32\configure --prefix=/usr/local --target=x64-mswin64
- nmake
- nmake check
- nmake install
- ```
-
-### Bugs
-
-You can **NOT** use a path name that contains any white space characters
-as the ruby source directory, this restriction comes from the behavior
-of `!INCLUDE` directives of `NMAKE`.
-
-You can build ruby in any directory including the source directory,
-except `win32` directory in the source directory.
-This is restriction originating in the path search method of `NMAKE`.
-
-## Icons
-
-Any icon files(`*.ico`) in the build directory, directories specified with
-_icondirs_ make variable and `win32` directory under the ruby
-source directory will be included in DLL or executable files, according
-to their base names.
- $(RUBY_INSTALL_NAME).ico or ruby.ico --> $(RUBY_INSTALL_NAME).exe
- $(RUBYW_INSTALL_NAME).ico or rubyw.ico --> $(RUBYW_INSTALL_NAME).exe
- the others --> $(RUBY_SO_NAME).dll
-
-Although no icons are distributed with the ruby source, you can use
-anything you like. You will be able to find many images by search engines.
-For example, followings are made from [Ruby logo kit]:
-
-* Small [favicon] in the official site
-
-* [vit-ruby.ico] or [icon itself]
