The ruby-filemagic gem has several incompatibilities with RubyInstaller-2.4.
- The
ruby_filemagic.so load error in the binary gem can probably be fixed per RubyInstaller::Runtime.add_dll_directory - see here.
- The gem should add a msys2 library dependency to the
mingw-w64-file package to support native builds. I already opened a PR to make it available in the MSYS2 repo.
- The gem should not search in
/usr/include or /usr/lib on MINGW. These directories contain CYGWIN/MSYS2 related files, which can not be used together with RubyInstaller. For RubyInstaller-2.4 it's enough to use the predefined library paths, provided the file package is installed. dir_config is usually not necessary.
- As a recommendation: rake-compiler-dock is maybe a more standardized way to build binary Windows gems. It can replace the project specific Dockerfile and docker handling.
This came up due to the following issue on RubyInstaller: oneclick/rubyinstaller2#64
